Had a difficult time trying to get the seat to fit. Reviewer, Urban Legend, had the same issue. At closer look, one of grooves was cut at an angle. This crooked groove was cut like this on both arms. My guess is, it shouldnt be. Returning this item wouldve been a hassle for me as they are very heavy, so I resorted to shaving the misaligned grooves with a utility knife, to allow the seat to fit correctly. Completed assembly. Chair looks nice but not all that comfortable even for someone on the smaller size, like me. The back is too erect. I find it suspicious that most of the reviews here, give it 5 stars.
UPDATE!!!!! Attach the seat first. This is a game changer! Might take a little wiggling to get the grooves to line up, but they will. Only took me 20 mins, by myself, to put this chair together.
Disappointed Update to this review. See below.
