Fairly easy to assemble but make sure you tighten all bolts till they stop. At first the cushions might seem too firm or hard but after a couple of days they soften up...To soon to know how long the leather with last...
Pros: The chair looks nice in my office. Cons: Almost immediately it developed a very annoying squeak whenever you move. I've tried WD-40 tightening all the screws and tightening and loosening the tension knob but nothing works. The right arm pad just busted off and it looks like it was a returned item as it has some minor scratches. Lastly it's not very comfortable. Regret this purchase as I have to start shopping for a new chair again.
