The assembly instructions were obviously written by someone who didn't need them. I.e. Several screws were not identified and the pictures of the assembly were often backwards from one step to another. No pieces identified. Talk about a cluster!! But after several hours over two days I managed to put it together. Two clamps came w the piece which I think are the connect the sofa to lounge but no instruction on it. And I had several pieces left over!!! I am using this as an inside piece until we move to our home north where it'll be on our porch. Praying it lasts 'til then!
