I was concerned that this chair would be a tricky beast to assemble but I was pleasantly surprised.  There aren't that many pieces - chair base, seat and pack plus two arm rests and a two part footstool. Maybe it's my past experience with all manor of flatpack furniture but anything that turns up well packaged with all the tools and bolts / screws etc that I need and that I can assemble myself in less than 30 minutes is a winner by my standards!  And what's more the chair is comfortable and feels sturdy.  I can't give it 5 stars simply because I would have like the back to be a little taller so that I could rest my head on it when in a seated position (the change of body position means that the chair does support your head when reclined).
