It’s a nice chair but the hardware is garbage. I spent over an hour in step one and couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get the seat base screws to thread. I had a friend try and he gave up after 5 minutes...

The solution was to test fit the included screws into each hole, then place the base from step 1 minus the washers and it seemed to work...

Step 2... go to ACE Hardware and pick up M6 bolts at 1.59 each and then assemble seat. And yes use the stock washers. It took me less than 5 minutes after I tried installing the appropriate bolts to put the whole thing together.

Pretty Yes. Aggravating.... Much more.
