Biggest issue here was the instructions. There were multiple places where a fastener wasn't pointed out and I had to backtrack and guess which ones went where. This is also NOT an easy build. I own power tools but unfortunately did not have the right bit and had to do this all by hand with the allen wrenches. If you've been skipping arm day, get a buff friend or a drill with a set of hex bits. The sofa itself is cute and the sides seem to work well once you align them properly!
