There were issues. These were fixed with a replacement.
Update: I decided to get this chair replaced after a spoke also broke. The second chair all the holes aligned and only took a few minutes to assemble. Im hoping that this new chair doesnt have any problems and will further update in a few weeks.
On a more positive note, everyone in the house has loved this chair over the past few weeks!

I was very excited to receive this chair today. So I immediately opened it and set to putting it together. The assembly is such that it shouldnt have taken more than 5 minutes. However, my holes would not align for the seat. I put both ends in together and got the two outer holes to align but could not get the two middle holes to line as shown. So I took it apart and I tried starting from one of the middle holesno success, I couldnt get any of the other three holes to align. So I try the other middle hole at which point I was able to get all but one hole to align. So, while the chair looks great, it is not completely put together and Im not sure how having that screw missing in the fourth hole will affect the sturdiness of it. It seems to be comfortable and it fits great in the space that I planned it for.
I will update this review as needed.
