Fastening the cushions to the frame took some time. Lining up the fasteners to connect through the drilled holes in the frame and mate with the threaded metal nuts in the cushions was somewhat difficult. You should assemble each cushion loosely. Once together, tighten it all up. The manufacturer could have better tolerances. Some wood finishing caps were hard to put on; with one that had to be glued on because the hole diameter was too large.. Pretty 'solid' piece when tightened up. The wood stain finish and fabric quality seem to be pretty good. For the price point, this seems to be good value. If you are over 6' tall, this chair may be a bit small for you.
