Our chair arrived packaged well, and all of the parts were there. To save space on Packaging, they put a bunch of the parts and Hardware inside the back cushion of the chair. Not a bad idea. I'm guessing they've had a lot of problems with people not being able to find the parts, because not only did they have a big message on the cardboard when you first open the box telling you to look in there, they have a bright red plastic streamer telling you the same thing. The chair assembled easy enough, being a fairly standard configuration. That's a good thing because even though the multi-page instruction book was in several different languages, the actual instructions were a series of pictographs. Think Ikea furniture and you're probably on the right track. One person can assemble this by themselves, but I did require assistance a couple of times to try and hold things lined up to get bolts started. Something the instructions dont tell you is when you start putting the arms and back on, don't tighten your bolts all the way at first. Just turn them in a few threads to get them started. You'll need a little wiggle room to get the back lined up. Once you get everything started, it tightens up just fine and everything lines up well.
Comfort-wise, the padding is nice and firm, you don't feel like you're going to sink into it forever. The back feels very straight, almost like a 90 degree, and wifey mentioned that it would be better if it had a little tilt to it. It does have a tension adjustment on the bottom to set how much spring it has against leaning, but there's no adjustment for the back angle.
