I love this chair - I bought the one with arms.  It comes disassembled, but with extremely easy to follow instructions. I put it together by myself in about 20 minutes. With a partner it could go much faster.  The quality of the wood and finish is OUTSTANDING, especially considering the price. It is a beautiful chair and looks just like the pictures after you put it together (so often that's not the case).  The mechanics of the chair function perfectly. If I had the need, I'd buy another one myself.
