I purchased this lounger in the vanilla and it set off the focal point of my entry way perfectly.....modern, fresh, comfy, multi-functional. The assembly was incredibly easy, I put it together in less than 15 minutes by myself. There are velcro strips on the bottom in case you are using this with the additonal pieces; then you can fasten them together. If you're using the lounger alone, snip them off. Anyway, when I come home and open the door, this longer invites me to sit down, check my mail, put my feet up and let go of the day....as a matter of fact Im sitting on it now, writing this review. It makes great additional seating and is easy to clean with a damp clothe if necessary. Exactly what I expected.
