The chair was a snap to put together. I am  pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the  chair actually is. I’m 5 foot 11 inches and weigh 196 lbs., so I was concerned about the size of the recliner. Happy to report the chair is a perfect size for adults. Although the armrests are not as structurally sound as I would prefer, I do plan to purchase more of these chairs to put in my Man Cave for Movie Night.
