Barlow Modern Vintage Accent Chair, Leather-Look Microfiber Armchair with Open Arm Design, Premium Foam Fill on Solid Wood Frame, 0, Tan

I ordered two light brown. The are attractive and sturdy.Many reviews mention the difficulty assembling. Alone, both were put up in two hours. It is important not to tighten the bolts until the end. The first two that attach the seat to the back should remain lose until the last bolt is inserted while you stretch for alignment.

So some assembly tips if you make the same mistake I did and order this thing: make sure you thread the bolts partway into each hole before actually trying to assemble it, meaning don’t line the arms up before trying to thread the screws. The threads are all boogered up but fitting the screws before actual assembly makes it go more smoothly. Strike one is just how bad the threads on this thing are.One side of the seat didn’t have the holes punched through the faux-leather, and it was a real pain finding something small enough to feed backward through the seat to punch a hole on the other side to finish assembly. Strike two.Strike three is they started to drill a pilot hole in the wrong spot in the middle of the leg, fully visible, right on the outside. Instead of tossing that leg as damaged, they sent it out anyway. Really?! Tacky.Strike four is multiple holes on the chair are too large for the hole caps to fit, so the continuity of the chair is lacking in terms of aesthetic.Strike five is the color is wildly off from the picture. The brown is so dark it’s nearly black; I got this chair to match a faux leather headboard and they don’t match at all. The wood is considerably lighter, and considering it creaked and felt incredibly soft just tightening the screws to solid placement, I’m gonna guess it’s cheap pine.I can’t in good conscience recommend anyone spend their money on this chair. I doubt it will last long, and it’s not worth the hassle of disassembling and sending back so I’m begrudgingly keeping it.

Not a single written word of instructions, just photos. What looked like any easily assembled chair turned into a 2 hour struggle. None of the predrilled holes lined up. If the instructions had only SAID hand tighten the seat until the arms are attached, it would have saved us about 90 minutes and ripping the fabric on the chair in several places. Once we figured this out, the chair went together and is very comfortable. I bought it for our living room but after all the assembling issues, we put it in the lower level guest room. The quality was not living room worthy. It also came with a scratch on one of the arms.

First things first, I LOVE this chair. It’s exactly what I expected and wanted. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 starts is because the assembly was a mess. We had to drill holes for screws to fit and hammer in pieces that should have slid right in. The chair still functions properly.

What seemed so simple to assemble was not when the holes for the screws don't align properly 4hrs later and 2 striped bolts one absolutely won't fit so chair is wobbly

Very disappointed in this purchase. I returned them because the color of the wood in the photo is much darker than the wood color the chair actually is. I’m glad the rerun process was as easy as it was but still disappointed in how off the coloring was. I added the advertised photo for comparison.

These chairs look good and sit well, they are a good value

Decent chair. You definitely get what you pay for but it works just fine. Definitely a struggle to assemble unless you hand tighten or even tighten very loose so that you can align all the holes. Material feels decent but definitely on the cheaper side. I think for the price it’s a decent buy.
