It looks like the photo and it sort of went together easily. Except that 2 of the spots on the cushion for screws were not prepared. And it was on the same side. We are using it as a coffee table/ ottoman. And it works nicely for that but it is just a bit (2-4") too high for our sofas. It is clearly pleather but still looks nice. If I could fully assemble this item I would have given it 4+ stars
