Ive assembled a lot of furniture but this is definitely a pain. It comes with 81 screws and washers to give you a sense of how long this takes. It is not difficult but the directions are awful so you really have to take your time and sort through the 4 boxes of parts. 

That said, these are too notch quality, all pieces arrived in perfect condition and when assembled these look very rich - like something you would see at a nice hotel. The quality is there to the touch and the style is excellent. Nice bonus that it comes with both gray and white cushion covers.
