Not very sturdy. My husband sat on it most of the day on Saturday and by the end of the day it was creaking and cracking. And he's not a big guy. The seat cushion is also already indented and almost too soft to sit on. It was nice it came together just needed the legs. But the Fedex guy was upset with a 75# couch in a giant box and just left it in the rain with giant holes from transit. It's cute for what it is, but I'm glad I got it on a good sale.
