Chair is extremely easy to assemble, it took me like 10 min to do so, which is pretty fast. Texture is soft to the touch and the cement color and texture look much nicer in person than in the pictures. It is very comfy and soft to sit, after using it a couple times for my reading sessions I fell asleep super easily, it was very difficult for me to stay awake because it felt so cozy and soft. My cats love it and sleep on it regularly which also makes me happy because they are enjoying it too. Overall I would recommend it if you are looking for a comfy chair to read, de-stress or even for your pets to relax too!
