It was super easy to assemble. The boxes are extra heavy! It looks lovely and is the perfect size. I wish the cushions were a bit more deep and plush but for the price this is still quite nice. As a lone woman I assembled this in less than 45 minutes, I didn’t need instructions, but they would have been sufficient. You screw the feet in and the rest slides together! For the price it can’t be beat! The back rest cushions have a pocket that slide over the back rests and have a flap that Velcro’s to the bottom of the back rest, FYI!
