I was happy the free delivery guys could carry it up to the second floor otherwise, I would have had a problem. It was a bit tough for me to put together,too, but I persevered. What I lack in hand strength, I make up for in perseverance. I like it a lot, my favorite spot to read and reflect. I have a low living area in my studio with pillows on the floors, so decided not to put on the legs. I was easier to slide into a corner across the carpet, works well for me.
