This was a blast to put together with my husband over several evenings when we had a few minutes/hours!  It took us a lot longer than other reviews but we had to keep starting and stopping.  We purchased for our new screened in porch and we love it!  It is comfortable and has worn well this summer.  The assembly directions were poor but it was pretty easy to figure out.  The best tip is to keep the contents in individual boxes together and just move from one box to the next.  This is an exceptional value and we highly recommend.
