I am very happy with the look of this chaise. Not the highest quality piece of furniture I have purchased but worth what I paid. Like other reviewers have stated, it is very firm but not uncomfortably so. It wasn't difficult to put together but a couple screws did pull out and needed to be replaced by our own larger ones. I am happy with this purchase, it looks great in our bedroom where it will get light use, I wouldn't recommend it if you want it for a high use area though, I don't think it would hold up to a lot of wear and tear.
