Easy to assemble. I like the look and its fairly comfortable. However, the back is frighteningly flimsy. Every time we sit down and lean back, Im afraid its going to break! (For reference, Im a 137 lb female, and my husband is 210 lbs). Unless you push it up against the wall, I dont think this sofas back is sturdy enough for any long term use. Wont work for the room we bought it for.
