We bought two of these reclining chaise lounges. They arrived in good condition except for the unraveling of some wicker on a leg. A little rewinding and glue should fix that. They were pretty easy to put together; taking only about 45 minutes each. But you do need two people -- one to hold the pieces in place, the other to screw them together. The cushions are thick and very comfortable. We couldn't be happier with the purchase.
