2.5 This came in pieces. Thanks goodness I had a friend here to help me assemble it. I don't think I would have been able to do it alone. Because of all the pieces I don't think I could have gotten it back in the box if I had wanted to return it. The back and seat cushions are attached so you cant flip them. It is definitely more of an accent chair not robust for lounging. It sounds rickety when you sit down. The color is as expected and I think very attractive. It works well for me in my transitional apartment and fills the space.
