Fairly easy to put together. Sturdy construction. The cushions are much thicker than many other options we saw on Wayfair and we have been very glad we got these. The anti-skid sheets that come for the ottoman cushions are kind of a joke. If the pads sliding around will bother you, you may need an alternate solution. Color on the cushions pops well (orange). The grey base tends to be a little more brown than I thought it would be. But not too bad, it's still definitely grey. Very happy with this purchase!
