Assembly is as simple as shown in the listing video, I did find it helpful to set it upside down on my kitchen island to place the back on, or you could use the shipping box as shown in the assembly video.
This is a very wide chair and surprised it is only rated for 300lbs, well my husband is 310lbs 62 and it holds him. Im 58 and 205lbs and its comfortable for about an hour before the cushion compresses and my but bones are feeling the hard substrate.
This is very comfortable and the cushioning is dense like you find with quality furniture. Even after a few hours seated it doesnt compress down to where I feel the hard substructure. The synthetic weave is comfortable on bare skin and not itchy or sweaty.
The problems Im having with it seem to stem from the hydraulic shock. It is not smooth operating when sitting down or standing up from it. It seems to stutter or get stuck on the chrome shaft and its noisy. Ive tried using a dry lubricant that didnt work, then tried another Teflon type lubricant and still no change.
The second issue is when you swivel around the chair dips you front to back and side to side as though it has a high spot somewhere. Weve moved it many places and on many surfaces in our home and still the same issue.
Weve used a vertical level on the hydraulic shock body and thats good, weve removed and reinstalled the seat and back just in case and still no changes.
So Ive succumbed to marking the leg where the high side is and placing it in the front when seated, since Id rather be leaned back than forward or to the side.
Overall I like the chair and the style reminds me of the Bob Newhart show, something you would see in his office. Unfortunately the non fixable issues Im having with it severely sway my star rating, it could be a 5.
Hopefully this was helpful, Thank you!
Something is wonky with mine
