This sofa set looks nice to the eye, yet is quite firm. Not a comfy, cozy feel. The entire sofa needs to be assembled, but it wasn't difficult. The pieces actually just slide together. I was very disappointed because my legs were all chipped and stripped. They also didn't screw tightly into the holes and I had to make alternative adjustments to get them secured and squared off properly. I did reach out to Wayfair and was offered an adjustment which I felt was easier than returning the pieces.
