Very simple to build with only one person - 4 steps and it is not very heavy. The legs are a beautiful brown/red shade, the overall chair is a gray color. It comes with side pockets on both sides. So far no staining or accidents so I’m not sure how it would do if it was not taken care of. It isn’t a very comfortable sink in to it chair it’s very sturdy, the back is very firm so we use a pillow. It is very cute I love the way it fills the place, it is not overly large which is perfect for our basement. Wish it came with a cushion and foot stool ( we are using our own ottoman boxes ) but overall satisfied with it, retail price is a bit high for what you’re getting not being a super cozy seat but if you’re not worried about money it’s not a huge deal.
