Putting the couch together wasn’t hard at all and I did it myself without any help. I made sure to open the boxes containing the couch and sectional from the bottom so I could attach the legs first. Once that was done I proceeded to tuck a step stool and a crate under each end so I could tip the couch right side up without putting stress on the newly attached legs. I latched the sectional to the rest of the couch last as it was easy to do. I will say that the couch is a little lower than my last sofa but it’s extremely stable and comfy. A bit on the firm side but I really don’t mind it - I’ll add a few decorative pillows and I’ll be right at home.
