UPDATED 11/8:
I received the longer screws and installation was significantly easier (30mm/40mm instead of 20mm/30mm). Chair works as expected. I like this wider style chair because I cross my legs when I sit.
UPDATED 11/4:
I reached out to the seller for a solution. Their response was prompt and they wanted feedback to improve their next batch. I made some suggestion given my struggle for what I believed to be the issue. They offered a solution which I will be testing out. I found the screws were not installing because they were too short with the washer. I ordered longer screws to remedy this issue with the partial refund they had provided. I will post another update once the screws come in.
Original review:
Ive been watching this item for awhile and was excited to see the price drop so I immediately bought it. Now I know why they dropped the price with a coupon (60 off). Theyre sending out their duds, defective merchandise. The holes dont align and the pieces arent molded to each other so its impossible to screw down without applying my entire body weight. What seems to be an easy install with 8 screws turned into an hour of struggle and failure. Absolute waste of time. I dont recommend this.
