Not too difficult to put together, it had nice tools that came with it. I love the foot rest. It doesn't lay back as much as expected based on photos, the cushion is very soft with little support, and the seating angle is a bit anteriorly elevated, which I'm not a huge fan of, but it should work with an extra cushion or pillow towards the posterior. The lumbar support pillow seems to be kind of useless for everyday use, but if laying back to have a rest it might be comfortable. I'll continue to try it out for a while, if I don't get used to it perhaps my partner will!
