First, I will say that I'm normally not very good at assembling things but this, by far, has been the easiest piece of furniture to put together.  Packaging wasn't the greatest because by the time it got here, fedex has shredded the box edge and it was close to losing the screws.  No damage, but not well protected. The loveseat itself is fantastic!  Beautiful light grey color. Stiff seat but soft back cushions. Exactly what I was looking for!
