Putting this thing together wasnt difficult, but did require a fair amount of space, since you want to be able to lay the pieces out beforehand. I put a couple of moving blankets on my floor, though some large flattened cardboard packing boxes would work, too, so as not to scratch the flooring. There is really only one tool required, which they supply (an allen key). Everything else went in fine for me by hand, except possibly the plugs, which I put in the wrong spots on a few occasions. I just pried those out with a pair of pliers, and reseated them by banging on them with the handle I think the instructions specified the wrong location for those once, but it was obvious where they went once I visualized how it went together.
The main issue for me was the weight of the second package, which I couldnt carry by myself. I cut it open and carried the pieces inside. I didnt need anyone elses help once I got the pieces laid out. Maybe would have been nice to have a helper when putting the seat and back pieces into the frame (next to last step), but not essential.
Ive slept on a folding-style futon for 30 years, so I had no issues figuring out how this one worked. Ive only slept on it one night, so I dont know durable it will be, but nothing seemed to creak or groan. It seems pretty solid.
Sturdy frame, easy to assemble.
