I am very happy with this purchase.  I put it together by myself, and it took about a half hour per piece as the directions had indicated.  The time consuming part is tightening the screws when the pieces are put together.  Have only had a week, but the pieces are very sturdy and comfortable.  My husband and I are 5/8 and 5/11 and weights are 175-200 lbs., and it works well for us.
