My husband broke his wrist. But, even with that hinderance, we were able to put it together in minutes. The navy color is subtle and attractively adaptable. My husband is 6'1" and 235#. It fits him well and he says it's comfortable. It does take some wall space to recline, so allow for that. Delivery was timely and the Fed Ex man was quite helpful getting the awkward box into the house. Fortunately, it was well packed.
