Nice comfortable chair with quality seating. Directions are only fair. The last step of assembling the back and to bottom is awkward and caused me to put the bolt into the leather and tear it. It is in an unseen place and I just repaired it with plastic tape. I was disappointed. Snapping the plastic trim into place seems easy but the tabs; broke off and the piece would not stay on the chair. I was so desperate to keep the chair that I glued the trim on.
The chair seems sturdy and is quite comfortable I've only had it a few months now so I will see if it retains that appearance of sturdiness after a year. The assembly instructions however could use some work. Attempting to follow the assembly instructions and mount the chair back onto the seat after the seat was placed onto the lift cylinder proved impossible to do alone and risked bending the bolts in the process. Attaching the back to the seat requires applying considerable force to compress the padding enough to line up the bolt holes on the arms with those on the back. I ended up having to take the seat off the lift cylinder and lay the seat and back on the floor while pressing them together with my legs to get the bolts in. This needs better instructions and a tool of some kind to hold the components in place. For example the kit could include a simple plastic rig to hold the seat and back at the proper angle for assembly.
