It was easy enough to put together. When it came to us, the box was in really bad shape. Literally, holding on by it's last seams. The instructions are just pictures but luckily my fiance is only good with pictures! Sitting on the Sleeper Sofa now, it's comfortable. I can tell that we will probably need to fluff up the cushions or get new ones after some time but I'm not worried about it for the time being. We have had the Sleeper Sofa almost four weeks now.
