This is definitely a 2 person assembly. The parts list  directions are clear though there is a major omission between step 4  5. Their stated assembly time of 30 minutes is ludicrous, add a couple hours because it’s so difficult to maneuver. Frankly unimpressed with the comfort level, it’s pretty firm. Looks like there might be a problem with the internal mechanism that controls the position of the back, one side wouldn’t stay up at first. We finally got it to lock in place after a lot of futzing. Another problem- numerous small brown pellets came out in the course of assembly. I am presuming they came out of the cushions somehow.  The material on the underside is very thin  tore in handling. On the positive side, all the parts were included, well labeled  fit as intended. It looks like the picture  will likely do for my purposes.
