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).

The chair itself is decently comfortable, and I was initially satisfied. The chair itself is for my son who is 6'1" and he loves how the chair fits him. The headrest and curves in the back of the chair are built for someone his height. The armrests also adjust which is a bonus.

It is comfortable to sit in for longer periods of time and I like how adjustable it is!
