Sturdy construction, doesn't feel flimsy or cheap. Everything needed to assemble is included and super simple to put together as a one person job. Took about 20 mins to assemble. Holds its weight well. Had a child and an adult sit on it and it didn't budge much. The only concern was the picture on the package. It shows black legs, not the gold it comes with, so if this was purchased in a store looking at the package you would be mislead.
