Not hard to put together, 1 person can. All was great until the arms, had the worst time getting the zippers right . its nuce seating, a little hard manually getting it back. I cant get it back by simply pushing my body back, you kinda gave to hold onto the arms and slam your back into the chair. Got this chair for my upcoming surgery won't be able to do that at all. Maybe a little greasing of the spring might get it to work better. It's a comfortable smaller lounger though, and one of these days I'll turn it over and hopefully fix it!
