Next time I will pay the extra to have it assembled. The hardest part was putting the back on. Trying to line up the arms with the holes on the back was not easy. Had to loosen the arms a few time to accurately align with the back.
So far I really like the chair especially the width. I have very wide shoulders and too many seats now come with "wings" that my shoulder blades end up resting on and they are not comfortable at all. Now I can do my work and not get distracted by discomfort. Also seems to be well made.
I am 5'4 woman & love that I can lean back and my head can rest. I can see how a tall person would like this chair. I think it is also helpful for wide people as I have space between my body and the arm rests. I like that because the arm rests are there when I need them but not in my way. Im always worried when I order online if the chair will be cushioned or hard. This chair is cushioned not hard! I sit in it for around 8 hours a day. It was also easy to put together. I am happy with this purchase.
I have kyphosis of the spine and can never find a chair that is comfortable or good on my back. I am a writer so I am in front of the computer a lot and this chair is perfect for me. I am so glad that I found it. And beat part was it was on a great sale.
