It's a great chair, once it's been assembled. My box was damaged but all parts were included. Putting it together required at least two people, don't expect to do this without help. But the real problem is that almost none of the holes lined up quite right. Five of six bolt holes were out of line and required either modification or considerable effort to make work. The four clip holes didn't line up correctly either, and resulted in several pinched fingers. The included instructions are not comprehensive enough or particularly helpful. However, here is what I learned:
1) You need the allen wrench that's included but you're also going to want a better wrench, one that has the round end that fits over the nut.
2) When trying to put in the four straight clip parts to the chair frame, the holes will not line up unless the bottom and top central crescent sections are properly aligned. This means you can't let one side go wonky while you pay attention to the other. Have one person monitoring each end. Watch your fingers too, those clips pinch.
3) One end of the big spring is narrower and has a tighter curve. Put that tight curve on top with the larger end hanging down where you attach the chair.
4) If you're having trouble hanging the chair after assembly is completed, lay the stand down on it's back with the chair positioned centered and hook it up on the floor. Once it's secured you can gently set the stand upright and the chair remains on the hook.
Once the nightmare of assembly is over this chair is AWESOME. I'm using it indoors, so am not concerned about weather damage, but if you're going to use yours outside I suggest putting a weather resistant cover on the cushions. It's large enough for one adult to lounge but would accommodate two sitting if they don't mind a little snuggle. Mine came with an under pad for the bottom and then a larger cushion. Between the two it's ok but I plan to add blankets, pillows, and a little more padding to make nesting more comfortable. I find this is true with all basket/nest type chairs so I wasn't surprised by the mild discomfort of the baskets ribs. Construction feels really solid. Both stand and chair feel VERY sturdy. I love furniture with suspension and/or rocking features so this is right up my alley. The enclosure and gently sway are incredibly soothing.
Overall I love my chair. Putting it together was a pain.
