It does require more assembly than most office chairs however it is easy.  Pros:  very nice seat, looks high end, touch surfaces are nice.  Cons:  the back is not a full back for 6.1 tall.  Should have paid more attention to dimensions.  It does sit very upright not a good chair if you like to recline or lean  back, it does recline but will not stay.  The armrest seem a bit low to me and they are not adjustable, which I knew just didn’t think they would be so low.  If it wasn’t a hassle to send it back, I would.  If you want a very upright chair, do t want to lean back, and you want  a thick seat cushion this ones for you
