After having my eye on this for months, I went ahead and purchased it. It seems sturdy and well made. It was a beast to put together by myself, though. I knocked off a star because there was a small rip in the fabric but I didn’t notice it until after I’d gotten it put together. I’m not really concerned about it, though. The seat is very firm but I’m not going to be lounging on it, it’s just an accent piece. I love the way it looks in my apartment.
