This Loveseat is a nice piece of furniture, but the material underneath the Loveseat next to the floor is VERY cheap material....Tears very easily! Assembly is required but the instructions are easy to follow. The Loveseat went together pretty easily after separating all the screws etc.....The color is somewhat lighter than the picture, which is what we wanted. All and all except the bottom lining this is a beautiful, comfortable piece of furniture. Just hope the comfort endures for a few years and the seat cushions don't wear down to quickly.
