This chair arrived earlier than expected so that was a bonus. Assembly took longer than it should because some of the fittings were honestly just awkward. But that is not a big deal in the long run. The biggest issue I have is that the back is "secured" by two screws that get inserted through two holes in the back of the arms. There are no nuts to secure the screws so they are just loosely fit. The chair really needs another wooden place to ensure it remains upright. I would not recommend this chair for anyone with a family. If anyone sits down to forcefully or leans back with any kind of force it will likely break the screws right off.
