I was so happy to receive this chair as quickly as I did. It actually arrived a day earlier than anticipated. It was another surprise to see how heavy the wood is and that it was so easy to assemble by myself. The only problem I encountered was the need for a short Phillips head screwdriver. I had to go the next morning and purchase one.  So be aware you will need one when you attach the seat. It unfolds to a cute staircase shaped ladder/ shelf. So pleased with this purchase.
