Very nice looking and sturdy sofa. I only give it 3 stars because you can hardly imagine how hard to assemble it with only 4 or 5 pieces. The holes are not aligned perfectly and the slots on both sides to fix the backrest are nearly one inch away from where they should be, which makes the backrest impossible to reach both sides. One tip: if you met the same situation, please try to do the reverse steps as in the instruction. Tie the sides with backrest first, then try as hard as you can to insert the bottom piece into in. It's still no easy to do, but at least worked for me.
