The chair was easy to assemble. However the seat was like a rock. The floor model chair at the store was not hard so maybe this would have softened with use but we did not want to chance it. We returned it and got a Beautyrest which is comfortable.
The best part about purchasing this chair at Staples was being able to "test sit" on multiple chairs. My old chair that was purchased at Staples 40 years ago has served me well.
