I am a pretty small guy and only weigh like 130 but I was able to transport and assemble this entirely by myself. I assembled this in about 30 minutes. If I had someone to help, it probably would have taken 15 mins. Please note that the couch comes in a very large box and if you live in an apartment complex, you will need someone to help transport the box. I strapped mine to a dolly and rolled it to my apartment. It is exactly what I was hoping it would be - fairly light weight, comfortable, relatively durable, and sleek. A total bargain for the price. The only issue I have is that the back pillows get mushed down pretty easily and I have to fluff them daily to maintain their shape. I can’t complain about anything else though! Overall great purchase.
