I chose to assemble the chair myself. It was easy to do since the manufacturer provided excellent directions and the tools to do so. I am very happy with this comfortable chair.
It is just the right size for my craft table. I didn't install the arms as they would get in the way. Pretty easy to assemble. Comfortable so far hope it stays that way!
The chair is an inexpensive chair and the quality match the price. The construction of the chair was good but the cushion did not win me over. The cushion was flat and was uncomfortable on the buttocks had you needed to seat for long periods of time. I’m 180lbs and maybe this chair would work for someone of less weight. I returned the chair within a week and bought another chair from a different company.
