The chair was pretty easy to assemble, just a few steps involved. Chair itself is pretty light but dont let that fool you, its very sturdy. For me it fits perfect (180lbs.) but width wise I can see how it can be a problem for someone over 250lbs. or so. Overall great looking chair , I managed to get the white variant and comfortable to use even after a few hours. Lets see how it holds up after a few months.
