I have this in blue. I did assemble it alone and I am 77 yo female. My son helped get the back on and the zippers on the arm rests. .  The covers for the arm rest are terrible and need another 1/4 inch of material. That took longer than the rest of the assembly.
Now please, tell me there is a way to loosen this kick foot rest! I cannot kick it down! Try as I might, it isn't going down with my legs. If i lean forward, if feels like the chair will tip. Otherwise, this chair is completely useless to me. HELP!
