I want to preface this review by listing my credentials. Ive assembled many (And non-IKEA) furniture pieces in my life, assembled and installed an kitchen and 2 PAX closet systems BUT assembling this chair was some how harder than all of that combined. The assembling of this chair nearly caused my husband (of 12 years) and I to divorce. Here is the good, the bad and ugly on this chair. The looks are great but thats obvious from the pictures. In person feels sturdy, yet comfortable. Good: Definitely the bang for your buck (design wise). Bad: Arrived with some scuffing on the legs (despite being wrapped well). The Ugly: the holes didnt line up with the screws in several spots. Took about 3 people and MANY attempts to assemble.
