I have a love/hate with my furniture. Is it gorgeous? Yes. Was it a pain in my rear end to put together? Yes. I was missing a few screws and some didn't want to fit down into their holes. But in the end, it was study and my husband (who weighs 280lbs) was able to sit on it comfortably. It's stunning! The only complaint I have is that the accent pillows aren't bright blue as they appear in the picture. They are more royal/navy blue. And Hawaiian print.
