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...
I thought it was very easy to put together. Comes with everything included down to the allen wrench to put the bolts in. One of the side faceplates was warped. Called support and they are shipping me a new one.
We know this model. We had this chair before. We bought a grey one this time. It fits nicely in the office with black furniture. It is always a pleasure to work with Staples. Very professional with a personal touch.
