Easy to assemble, took two people and only about 20 minutes. All the pieces are labeled clearly and directions are easy to follow. The seat cushion are vacuum sealed, and do expand to normal size. The fabric is nice and easily fits 3 adults and is sturdy. The cushions are firm, but I'd prefer that over seats that are too soft. The beige color is true to online picture. The delivery was very speedy, and arrived one day ahead of schedule. I am very pleased with this purchase.
