Very easy build; not the most robust loveseat out there, but I'm happy with the build-quality regardless. You essentially only have to screw in the legs (two of which have wooden dowels) then slot-in the sides & back. Half of the cushions fit int the void of the seat itself, the entire seat fit inside a 4' x 2' x 1' box that I could carry by myself up 3 flights of stairs with relative ease (roughly 80 pounds). If you're looking for a seat/couch to fit a small area (as I was) this isn't a bad choice.
