The assembly directions are horrible. They are written assuming g each piece has a letter, which they don’t. The leg pieces either have blue or tan tape wrapped around them, like colors go together. You have to figure out which seat bottom goes to which end piece and which one has the arm. Lay out the whole puzzle before you start. Several of the drill holes didn’t line up, we needed a rubber mallet to sort of force it to work. Once it was together it seems sturdy and it is comfortable. I like that all the cushions Velcro strap to the base. We’ll see how it holds up after a summer.
