This was actually surprisingly easy to put together relative to the rest of the reviews. I did it by myself, on the floor, while refusing to pick anything up because my back was hurting that day. It seems to be sturdy, too. However, the cushion is so thin and under filled that I can feel every metal bar underneath. I'm not super happy that I have to go find another cushion to add to it for comfort, but that piece is probably the easiest one to replace. So I guess it's okay.
