Received the chair yesterday, (Friday) ordered Tuesday - very quick!  Took me 1 hours to bring box into the house, remove contents, assemble and discard the box.  The chair went together very easily only 3 pieces to assemble.  The leather is very nice, including the smell.  It's not pebble like which is what I thought due to the picture and prefer.  The padding is very comfortable and easily reclines and retracts.  I definitely recommend.
