These were easy to put together and I like them more than I expected. We wanted real leather but were unsure about spending the money on real leather with two dogs, a cat, and two kids, so we went with these faux leather. They are comfy and I was glad they were a little smaller than they look in the pictures--I was worried they'd take up a ton of room and they don't. They are a bit more brown and less honey colored than I was expecting, but they do the trick and hopefully last us a few years with all the pet and kid activity!
