I am a 5'3 female and put the couch together by myself.  It took me a little longer, but was easy to do.  Frame is sturdy.  Couch has coil cushioning that is very comfortable.  Underside fabric not the highest quality.  The fabric part that you sit on is high quality.  It is very easy to convert from couch to sofa.  I think this is an excellent buy for the price and the shipping was on time and very fast.
