I ordered two of these chairs for my living room. The chairs were packaged very well, all the parts were in the box, so when I opened the box there was no damage to either item. Putting the chairs together took a bit of effort.  I am a woman and I am extremely good at fixing things.  This however was somewhat challenging because some of the holes were off on both the chairs. It took me an hour to assemble the first chair, because trying to put screws in and squeeze the pieces together to get them to line up.  I assembled the second with someone else, having them to press the parts together with their knee, it took less time.  End product, I'm big on style and they look amazing against my deep red wall, especially after applying a leather lotion.  A great chair for socializing and a nice conversation piece. This chair is not for sitting back cozying  up and watching the game, but it works for me.
