It was very easy to assemble and took me 20 minutes. You can do it on your own, but it's quicker and easier with two people (the backrest weighs quite a bit and the other individual parts aren't exactly light either).

Excellent gaming chair. I've been through several other gaming chairs that all claimed to be comfortable and durable but proved otherwise. Upon assembling this chair, it was evident it's far superior in quality to others I've had. It's truly a heavy-duty chair made with quality materials. I ordered the XL since I'm 6' 4" and 225 lbs. The chair back and height adjustment of the seat is perfect for someone my height. The seat padding is very comfortable, and much thicker than other chairs I've had. The chair was delivered much sooner than I expected. It was listed as preorder at the time of my purchase, but it was delivered in less than a week.

My son loves his new game chair so much. It was a wonderful birthday present. My son can sit and play games all day.
