Very easy to put together. It is larger than I anticipated which I am happy about. The cushion and back are firm and supportive, and still very comfortable. I have been caught dozing in it! The pink linen is darker than it appears in the photo, more pink-lavender. (Not to say it is purple/lavender. It is definitely pink, just more lavender-hued than you can see in the photo.) Overall, VERY happy with this purchase.
