I did not have any trouble putting the chair together by myself (27 minutes). You can install one piece at a time and it will turn out just fine, you dont need someone else to hold all the pieces in alignment before you start putting in the screws. Everything fit just fine, no parts missing, misshaped, or broken. I used the included hex bit in my drill which made assembly much easier than had I used the included T/wrench. Note: if you use your drill, set your clutch on a medium setting and install one screw, then tighten it with the T/wrench; this will tell you whether the clutch is set high enough. I started out on a medium setting and increased the torque setting one number at a time until it got a little too high, then backed off one number. This worked pretty well. I dont know how easy it would be to strip the material if you had your clutch set very high, but I wouldnt want to find out.
Although some reviewers complained about various aspects of the chair, I find that it is attractive, comfortable, easy to get into and out of, not too small, not too short in the seat, nor is the seat too low, and it rocks nicely.
5 stars for a really nice outdoor rocker.
Great rocking chair, easy to assemble.
