I’m so glad I made the purchase. I was hesitate cause, well, cash and all  But it’s so cozy. I put it together myself. Which took me about 2 hours. It’s heavy and came together nicely. I really can’t say enough good things. It did come with a strange smell. But that seems to have gone after I pulled it out of the box. It may have just been the packaging. The package was pretty much destroyed by the time it was delivered. I was nervous it would be damaged inside but nothing was wrong. I got it on sale for Cyber Monday. I think that price is more accurate than full price. It was about half off. As much as I love it I don’t think I would have purchased it full price.
