Very easy to assemble and to close from a reclining position.  The yellow is not too bright, as I was afraid of when ordering.  It is a nice neutral yellow.  The only negative I can say is it is a little firm, which may break in after some time.  When reclined, your neck and lower back aren't really supported, so I did have some soreness after spending all day in it.  Also, no room for a dog or cat unless they can lay directly on your lap.
