was hard for me to line up the holes to insert the screws, but finally got it.  had to use a socket wrench instead of the included hand wrench.  that was much easier than using finger strength to tighten the screws.  loveseat does sit close to the ground and the back is not very tall.  love the color (raisin), deep purple.  the material is stretched tight, the seat is very firm.  the back has a slight lean to it, that is comfortable and supportive to your back.  and the best part......it is oh so SOFT.
