We had no trouble putting it together. It’s good enough quality for the price, though we’ll have to see how long it lasts in our hot Southern weather. It lost a star due to the Velcro cushions that don’t stay put. I may try to figure out some kind of tie that I can sew on to keep them in place. I’m guessing a better quality lounger would think of the little details that turn a product from “good enough” to “great”.
