Assembly was easy, I’m a very handy woman though. The chair is really deep which is perfect for tall people. It’s not so great though for my 5’5 vertically challenged self. The cushions are super firm, not sure what I think of that. My biggest issue with this chair is it turns. As you rock it walks to the right and turns clockwise. I had to move it 3 times in an hour. Other than that though, it’s a great looking chair.
