Its a nice looking piece of furniture and easy to assembly. The instructions are vague but understandable if you separate the pieces before you try to assembly. The slider portion seems to stick a little, but maybe it will get better with use.
BEWARE:
While all the above is true, unfortunately after I wrote this the chair broke, literally broke in half. The two side supports that attach to the round base has a faulty anchoring system. First the chair started rocky (which it shouldnt) so I took the base off and looked at how it was constructed, the metal anchors were poorly designed but since I like the chairs look I attempted to try and fix it ( I really didnt want to return it). I glued the anchors with epoxy glue to the base and let it sit for a day. After that I sat in the chair for about 2/3 hours and the rocky stopped, unfortunately it broke off its base and lunched me forward onto the floor. While I didnt get hurt, the possibility was there and someone else could. Also while I was actually looking at the construction the wood is not mahogany, unless it compressed pieces of mahogany. I think between the faulty designed anchors and the compressed wood of the base this chair will not last for anyone.
I am an adult woman that is of normal weight and do not wiggle around or get up and down a lot, so it this chair is used by a man or children, it wouldnt even last as long as mine lasted Id pass if I were you.
Nice looking but faulty design
