Wow!!! This product is really solid. I bought this as a companion piece to the bench swing I got last year. It took me about an hour to put this together by myself. I do have severe arthritis, so use that as a barometer. Its not really a two-man job All you need is a wrench. No issues to report here. The chair comes in five pieces, and is nicely packed. No shipping damage. They include 18 heavy duty bolts and nuts to secure the pieces. Happily, all of the pre-drilled holes lined up almost perfectly...a little nudge here and there was required to get everything right, but that was easy enough. I would recommend a socket wrench for an easier assembly. The instructions are straightforward, but not world class. The picture on the sheet was not the exact chair in the package, but the pieces went together just the same. You will need some room to do this project. I found the most difficult part was installing the back rest to the seat. When built, it has some heft to it. The chair itself is comfortable and roomy. The wood itself feels like there is a light coating of protectant applied, but the overall appearance is of a nice natural wood.
Sturdy and comfortable
