This chair is very difficult to assemble. It is pretty easy until the end when you have to attach the cross bars. In addition to other reviewers I too think the back bars are manufactured too short. I needed 4 people to help push the bar into position before I could finish assembling. After assembling, the bars were too tight that as soon as someone leaned back in the chair the screws popped out. Customer service was able to send me two new bars and I was able to fix the issue! Finished product looks great!
