Like other reviews mentioned, have two people around to put this together. It will take at least 90 minutes to put everything together, though nothing is particularly difficult if you’ve put together furniture before. But if it’s your first time putting together furniture, you might want to have a little help from a friend who’s done it before handy. The instructions diagram isn’t exactly wildly clear, but good enough to make this relatively straightforward to assemble. 

And once it’s assembled, it’s comfy and seems to be generally well manufactured. We’ll see how it is after having it for more than just 4 days, but so far it’s nice and we’ve already used it every day this fall!
