These couches are BEAUTIFUL!! A little stiff when you sit down (in no way comfy- they just look good) and I love them but the assembly is another story. One of the brackets that hooks the back to the bottom piece was not put in the right place. Thank goodness my husband is handy because we had to use power tools to take off one of the brackets and drill new holes.  So be warned...it can be fixed but you have to figure it out. The other couch was easy to put together.
