I love this settee. I could not tell it has a whitewash from the photos, but it is super cute. Heavier than expected. Firm cushion, but will probably break in with time. Assembly was a disappointment. Came packaged perfectly, but I’m not a pro at assembling. Had my 12 year old help me. Be VERY careful with the arms, and I would highly recommend loose assembly first, then go back and tighten everything. I broke an arm by having the bolts too tight and things didn’t go into place very well. Was 100% my fault, and a little wood glue holds fine. Over all I love it!
