We purchased the sofa and chair in charcoal and absolutely love it. It's is classy without being overstated‚it's complementing our adobe house and beautiful mountain backdrop. It was fairly easy to assemble (had to flip around a couple pieces due to not looking closely enough at the assembly order) but all in all was not bad. The wood is BEAUTIFUL and the hardware compliments it's well. We purchased the covers and they are easy to slip on and protect from hot sunny days and mountain storms. We hope to buy more accent pieces / add to the sofa in the future !
