I just received this chair and assembled it by myself in about 20 minutes. The instructions were simple and clear, and the chair is VERY solid so far! I am super pleased - especially for the price I paid on sale. It doesn't have a lot of adjustments (height, arms, and lumbar only; no tilt of the seat or the back) but it's pretty comfortable at first sit. My old chair the arms were attached to the front of the seat too, and that vertical connection pressed against my thighs uncomfortably. I really like that these arms are only attached at the bottom and the back -- plenty of room for my ample self. I'll update if anything changes, but for now, I definitely recommend this chair for larger folks.
