Truly the worst self-assembly project we have ever taken on (and there have been many). The directions are awful, full of typos, and don't include the necessary tools. The manufacturing itself doesn't allow for the chair to be assembled (screws that must fit into slats that are too narrow for it to pass!), and forced us to use other hardware we had on hand. The chair itself is moderately comfortable, but definitely not worth the trouble. Stay away!
