When I first received this couch in a box in pieces I was not sure what to think.  But a kind neighbor helped me put it together.  Fairly easy as the parts slide into each other.  Took about 10 minutes.  It's very comfortable but since I'm short I will get some throw pillows for the back.  But any one taller than 5' should be fine.  It was on sale so I am satisfied with the purchase.
