It's lot heavier then it looks. The wood is solid and seemingly well made. The cushions are super comfy. My only annoyance is with the instructions. They're not very well done or labeled well. Took me 30 minutes just to get started, though it was easier once I figured out what was going on. The set came in 3 boxes: sides, frame, and mattress. I second another review about waiting to release the mattress from the plastic until it's on the frame. Think canned biscuits. -poof-
