It took me a total of thirty minutes to put together with no help, no instructions, and a nosy cat in the way.
I like that the cushions are built/in, something I didnt know about before buying. This is sure to make couch maintenance far more simple. The backrest flap doesnt line up exactly with the base of the couch, so I had about half an inch of velcroed fabric left over to tuck into the crease of where the armrest connects to the base. Plus I had to use a hammer on one of the metal plates to create space to slide the armrest into the plates on the base. The backrest ear pieces came off a few times as I was putting the backrest on, so I dont entirely trust how secure it was meant to be. Why wasnt this later built onto the backrest, if so many people are warning others about how difficult those pieces are?
After it was put together, I immediately tested my weight on it, sitting and laying down, and it feels sturdy enough. For what I need it for, it will get the job done. But if youre looking for a couch made to last you an extended period of time (i.e. a decade) I would not recommend it.
