The recliner comes in two pieces and is very easy to assemble. It's very good quality, and can support the weight of an adult (had to test it), so I have no worries about my little one when he's lounging in it. The only downside is that the recliner itself is manual -- it has to be pulled out from the bottom, as there is no button/lever/release for it, which can be a bit frustrating for a toddler. Once it it out, it is fine though. I would definitely recommend it.
