One of the reasons that I bought this was no assembly required, A+ on that. The other was the ability to self-store in the winter months in a compact manner, A+ on that. If you are tall, do not buy this. I'm 5'2" and I think it is short. Not only is it low to the ground, but the seat itself is fairly short so it's a little awkward to sit in - add the back cushion and you have maybe 15 inches of seat space. The back of the loveseat is very low, hitting me just under the shoulder blades (again, I'm short). It is also small, so I'm using one of the ottomans to make it a little longer. For the price, it's fine if not a little pricey. I regret not paying for assembly on a set made for adults to sit in. All that said, it will do for a few years and it's fine for one or two people max.
