I was disappointed once I put this chair together and felt it was pretty cheaply made for $1000 chair. As mentioned in other reviews the leg pieces were not labeled correctly (right/left) and even when switched around they holes did not line up exactly. I have no tools to bore a new hole...when I got it together the best it was going to be I heard the wood crack a little (I'm 120 pounds). It's smaller than expected but will work ok for my apt. Not a longterm solution. A review question also asked if the legs come up without reclining- contrary to what the answer stated - it does not. Leg support does not come up if you are not at least partially reclined.
