I was able to assemble this chair in about 45 minutes. I read the reviews before purchasing this chair for my husband. Even with all the reviews stating the difficulty of assembly, I figured my hubby and I could manage, even though neither of us is a rocket scientist. I must admit, if a 65+year old woman with a bad back can assemble this chair single/handedly, in less than an hour, ANY adult should be able to do so. It is not as heavy as I would have liked. Our medium sized dog tips it when she jumps into it to look out the window. It is a little wobbly, but my husband is a big man, so not particularly surprising, especially with the dog jumping into it . It is a firm chair, which is most comfortable for his bad back. He (and I) are quite happy with it.
So easy to put together
