I love the design of the Armchair and Ottoman. The only assembly required is to fasten the legs of the chair and the legs of the ottoman. I opted for the in Home Delivery and was grateful that I did.  Both pieces are very sturdy and and by all appearance look to be made with quality. I selected the piece in Expectation Gray and love the color. I recommend the purchase, but would also suggest buying some accent pillows as the chair cushion is firm and wide.
