It is a lovely chair, but needed more than assembly, as the leg screw hole did not line up.  It required drilling a new hole in the correct place.  It appears taller and more straight backed in the photo.  It is perfect for my husband...but would have been a big disappointment  for me.  I expected  better for the price.  It was the fifth chair I've purchased from Wayfair and the first criticism, so it was unusual.
