I bought this for my mom to use.  she had an old rocking chair with cushions that she used to sit on.  I noticed that she uses the ottoman all the time!  you can sit in the chair for hours as it is very comfortable. All tools and hardware came with the chair for assembly.  I assembled it by myself and it took about half an hour.  A note on shipping, it took 5 business days for it to arrive, which is shorter than the original estimated date! Great job Wayfair!
