The chair was very easy to assemble. It does take two to assemble. The chair looks very good.  It is not as comfortable as I had hoped. It fits well, since I am 5'6" however, again not as comfortable in the reclined position as I had hoped.  It is difficult (very?) to return the chair to an upright position with my legs.  I could see that an older or less physical person could have difficulty retracting it.  Overall, I'm satisfied. Would I purchase it again? No.  Simply because there are others out there to meet my needs.  The price was excellent. You truly do get what you pay for.
