Chair was very easy to assemble. The only issue that I had was that one of the holes that I needed to screw a leg into was covered by a staple that was used to attach the fabric to the base. So once I removed that, it went in fine. As mentioned in other reviews, the seat is really pretty hard. I would prefer it to be softer, but I didn't buy the chair to sit in every day - it's more of just an extra piece to go with new sofas that I purchased. I do like the blue color and extra wide seat, and the recline feature is relatively easy to operate.
