It arrived 10 days before the estimated delivery date. I was glad that I was home when it arrived because any neighborhood porch pirates would have easily seen what they might have stolen. It arrived in two large boxes, packed very nicely, with the tools needed to assemble it. The instructions leave a lot to be desired (photo attached). It took me about an hour and a half to assemble it by myself with my arthritic thumbs. If my thumbs were in better shape I could have assembled it faster. If youve ever assembled any furniture before, this is similar to the others. No better, no worse. Id say its on the easier side of furniture that needs to be assembled. Its not rocket science. My chair is beautiful, but I was disappointed to see a small scratch in the base of the foot rest, a mangled plastic cap on the base of the chair, and a plastic swivel mechanism that does not swivel smoothly. Hopefully it will become smoother with use or maybe Ill have to apply a little WD/40 to it. Im guessing more expensive chairs would have a better swivel mechanism but for me its a side chair and I dont anticipate it getting that much use where I need a top of the line swivel mechanism. Im happy with this chair. Love these.
I really like it!
