I purchased this chair to go alongside a large cubby system that is doing double duty as a display center and home for my laptop computer.  [...] The assembly was very easy: the chair back needed to be attached to the base, and the 4 legs needs to be attached as well.  I did it all myself within 10 minutes.  The construction is very sturdy, and the chair was actually larger than I had pictured, which was even better.  This makes a great occassional chair for a reading nook, fireplace setting, or teen lounge.
