Shipping & delivering was pretty quick with this chair. It arrived with all of the necessary parts to assemble the chair correctly. Which by the way, this was fairly easy to assemble (thank God lol).. assembly time was about 20 mins tops with no help. Assembly instructions weren’t included in the box, but they can be found listed on the website on this item’s page. The chair is beautiful and has a soft velvet texture. I absolutely love it!!!
