Arrived a day early, I struggled to remove from box and assemble on my own, but it is easy if there are two people as the back just slots in but you need another person to lift and guide it into place.  Very comfortable and easy controls, and reclining position is good for my sciatica and lower back problems.  It also matches my existing settees.  The only thing I would prefer is if the heat aspect was further down to my lower back, whereas it is more at the higher part of my back, but overall I love my chair.
