The recliner arrived on time and in perfect condition.  Very easy to put together.  The instructions, which were simple, mentioned about screws being included but there were none.  No screws were necessary. The item came in three parts - the bottom (seat) of the recliner, the back of the recliner and two sides that just slid into brackets on each side of the recliner back and the back had brackets on each side that slide into brackets on the  bottom part.  Nice chair for the price and very comfortable.
