It’s fairly simple to put together- just time consuming. About a 3 hour job if you’re on your own. And the description says the material isn’t plastic- well it is definitely plastic. It looks nice but I think it was a little false advertising. It’s pretty comfortable but the plastic weave does get pretty hot in the sun so we will see how well it holds up over time. And it’s a bit lighter gray than it appears in the photos but it still looks pretty nice. It all arrives in one box so do not plan to move it without help! I made the mistake of not having to sign for delivery and it was a real pain getting that box moved alone !
