A friend assembled the parts in about 15 minutes . Everything went together easily . He finished by tightening all the bolts firmly . The chair is stable and will look great with my new desk and file .
Really like the moveable arms- I’m short (5’2”) and the arms on office chairs always bump into my desk And/or get stuck. It’s nice and rare to find a comfortable office chair where this isn’t an issue. I Put this together by myself quickly without a problem. It would’ve gone faster with a second person to help with the step connecting the arms but wasn’t necessary.
However the seat and back are combination of leather and cloth which is not comfortable after an hour or so. The base and arms are made of hard plastic which seems adequate but time will tell.I prefer all leather upholstery and metal for my chair.
