UPDATE. (4 months later) the hydraulics started failing and eventually quit working altogether.  My husband was able to fix it making a few modifications and that worked well for a couple weeks.  Today the whole seat popped off the top of the base.  I’m way under the weight limit.  
Would it be possible to exchange the defective one since it’s past the 30 days but  only 4 months of use


Easy to put together.  This chair is exactly what I was looking for.  It’s not big and bulky, it doesn’t overpower the room.  I love it!
