While the product description advises you need 2 people to assemble, I was able to do it alone in a little over 2 hours and I’m nearly 65! The boxes come with extra parts which is nice but I now have 7 screwdrivers if anyone wants to make me an offer LOL! The cushions are quite comfortable and, while some have commented that the backs are too low my wife and I don’t see any issues. The storage in each section is adequate for games, blankets and/or other small items. Color is lovely and while our two feline children have managed to pull some threads, I used a sweater shaver to trim them with no problem. All in all, a great purchase!!
