Don’t hesitate, just get it. It arrives EXACTLY as photographed. I was prepared for a full evening of assembling the piece and was incredibly surprised and relieved it came ALL IN ONE PIECE! All you do is pop it out of the box, and then place it in its new location. I spent the evening on the hammock instead of trying to interpret horribly written assembling instructions. It is the perfect piece to pull together a bedroom with limited space and high style.
