We LOVE our sofa. It definitely takes 2 people to assemble it. It is very light in weight. And we love how you can keep it together or have three different sections. It tightens really well and feels pretty sturdy to sit on. A couple of the legs were bent once we got it, but not too bad. It is still pretty sturdy and I love the fabric of the cushions. The cushions are waterproof. The cushions can get a little hot if I’m the sun. Now we need to find a fire pit to go with it. we love this sofa!! I would recommend it!
