Easy to put together.  It will stain but if you clean it up right away it will come out nice and clean, but I do not recommend deep hard scrubbing. We have no children and no grandchildren near us.  We always wanted to have white furniture. We love it.  Its comfortable.  Its a great napping place.  The 2 recliners we bought from Wayfair also, as a matter of fact we bought a total of 4.  2  for ourselves and 2 for our favorite cousin.
