Chair comes folded in a box, no assembly required. Green color is a little less vibrant than shown. It took me a few minutes to figure out how best to situate it, then how to sit down in it, but once I got that, I was in reclining heaven!
I'm a large woman, 5'10" and heavy--220+--with significant hip arthritis, so getting in and out of chairs can be a bit of an issue for me. I put the chair in an upright position, stand on the front bar (that rests on the floor), and kind of back into the seat. Once in, I can fully or partially recline by leaning back and pushing out with my feet. Getting back out is a matter of un-reclining (pulling in with my feet, basically), then using the armrests as leverage to push myself upright.
The chair, though not flimsy at all, is light enough that even I can push it back against the rail of my porch, folded, to save space, and then easily pull it out far enough to recline next time I want it. It folds up pretty flat, too, for storage.
If I had one complaint it would be that the armrests are a little low. Lying back and holding a book up (which is why I bought it--for reading outdoors), there's nowhere to put my elbows. But really, it's so wonderfully comfortable and supportive otherwise, that that's a small quibble.
