Best lounger ever! Fully assembled. Color is just what the picture shows. Simple as 1-2-3 1. Open box. 2. Place on deck. 3. Pour the sangria. Heaven! Basically added cushions and lumbar pillows for a pop of color. OMG they are so comfortable! One of my girls is always calling "shotgun!" for the second lounger. They know better than to try and snag mine.
