The base of the chair and the arms did not align when I was assembling it. I thought I was building it wrong but I had two other people try and the same issue happened. It didn't align :( which sucks because this is such a beautiful chair! The finish product still looks great but it is slightly uneven. If you have this on hardwood floor, you definitely can tell but on carpet, it looks okay, I love the way it looks but expected the parts to fit. Unfortunately it didn't so I am not able to give a 5 star review.
