This chaise is just what we were looking for to add a little extra comfort. Perfect for lounging and reading books...it's like laying on a cloud or a huge pillow. So squishy and yet it is a solid piece of furniture and we are very happy a few months in with our purchase. It was pretty easy to assemble (there was one confusing part on the base/bottom, but it was easy to figure out a work around). I also like putting a long pillow at the base of the back to give myself a little extra lumbar support. But, all in all, this is a great chaise for the money and I am happy we chose this one over others.
