Easy to put together. Somehow my cats found a way inside the bottom of the couch, that material didn't hold up well. It was pretty stuff at first, but after using it for a while it has softened up a lot. I had it in storage for 2 months as well and it didn't have any sort of discoloration or a musty smell like some furniture gets. The only thing I really disliked was that the color is a lot lighter than the picture. I was hoping for it to be a darker teal like the photo and it looks more like a light tropical teal.
