Very easy to put together...I did so by myself without any trouble. Took about an hour to do all four pieces. Tip use a drill...makes tightening MUCH easier and saves time. Husband is 6’4” and weighs around 275...he finds the seating to be comfortable, as do I. Would have been nice to come with back cushions, but we made do with pillows we already had in hand. Good purchase  highly recommend.
