Very easy to put together, sturdy and supports much more than the 250lb weight limit indicated. My husband, myself and our two children were all snuggling and it was absolutely fine. Beautiful, and warm addition to my daughter's room. 

The only complaint, there were two small places where i needed pliers to gently (and easily) bend the ends of the center support rod straight as they were slightly damaged when they arrived. Not a huge deal, and only took a second to fix.
