Easy to assemble. Understand that for the price, it is a basic simple chair. Nothing like a real office chair that a person could sit in for long periods but OK for a short time in a personal home office. At first, I could not get the back to recline at all; was rigid. However, after looking at the mechanism closely I discovered that one must first unlock the recline function for it to work. Use the height adjustment handle and pull it horizontally away from the chair. It will move slightly and then the recline is unlocked. Buying a chair without sitting in it is risky. I would never pay for an expensive one without trying some out in a store. Bottom line, its probably OK for the price but remember one usually gets what one pays for.
