It was a little more challenging for us to put together but mainly because we were putting together a loveseat and sofa together at one time.  The material is very unique and "ribbed."  I would say that there is a strong smell to the upholstery but I woke up today and it isn't as strong.

Even though it is a deluxe sofa, it feels a little small.  It you want to kick back and lean your head on the sides, it is really not comfortable without a lot of pillows.  And the back cushions are very full so there isn't a lot of space to lay down on.  But that could get better over time. I had a shorter sofa before but it felt bigger because of the design.  That is mainly why I gave it 4 stars.    

Overall for looks a "5", comfort "4", size "4", fabric "5" and bargain "5". 



Pros: Fabric, Visual Appeal, Bargain
Cons: Small Size
