Received it earlier today and was able to assemble it on my own.  Took some time and patience but not too difficult if you are used to working with your hands or have assembled furniture before.  I included some photos of the unboxing so that you know what to expect.  While it can be assembled solo, it would have been easier with some help.  Looking forward to many days and Summer evenings snuggled up here.  And as you can see one family member has already approved ! :)
