I received this yesterday (FedEx on Sunday!). I opened it this morning, I laid out all the pieces and then assembled it according to the instructions on the paper that was enclosed. I would say that it was easy to assemble, by myself, a 65 year-old, 5 foot tall woman. So far I am happy and I love how the back flips into the table top. I’m thinking about buying a cushion for it as the seat gets hot and I am in Arizona where the temperature goes up to 115° in the summer.
Update: I bought a second one, figuring I can have two benches or make it into the picnic table if needed. Great innovation!
