The chair arrived within the timeframe given. Fed/EX dropped at my front door. Box was very heavy and fortunately I got help bringing it in the house. You will need two people to unbox and assemble. Took my wife and I most of an afternoon to finish. Just follow the step by step instructions carefully. The only problem we had was removing the package of parts that was crammed up in the base frame. Difficult to pull out. I'm pleased with the chair and features especially considering the price paid.
