I read some reviews that indicated people had problems putting the furniture together but it was not a problem.  We used 2 people.  We worked on one piece at a time.  We laid out the pieces and verified we had everything we needed.  Once we figured out the layout of the directions, everything went together with no problems.  Maybe less than 3 hours from start to finish with some breaks in between.  Cushions are not as comfortable as I would have liked but I am hoping as they continue to expand from the vacuum sealed shipping, they will get more comfortable.  I am very happy and was exactly what I was wanting/expecting.
