I bought this for my daughter's apartment.  It was easy to put together.  There were numerous copies of the directions.  A couple of the cushions are really crushed hopefully they will get their shape back as they are out of the packing.  The color is beautiful a sort of peacock blue.  Not the sturdiest of construction.  I hope she doesn't have any wild parties with a bunch of couch jumping it won't survive. Great starter piece.
