We received the chair last night and it was simple to assemble.  I must say that the quality is much lower than I expected for a chair that lists for $140.  The wood is rough (obviously note sanded before finished) and the wood has knots and knot holes.  This is replacing a cedar chair I had that I paid $69 and lasted for 4 years from the Christmas tree shop.  I thought I was upgrading but obviously wasn't.  I'm disappointed but will live with the chair as taking it apart and retiring it is too much of a hassle.
