Love my new papasan chair and it took me about 20 minutes to put it together. My son sat in it the other day and fell asleep, slept for 2.5 hours! Great comfortable chair and I bought it at a great price. I was afraid to open the box as the box had numerous  gouges and holes and wasn't holding up very well, perhaps in transit. However, all of the parts were there, no damage to the  chair or it's parts.
