It was very simple to put together! Because of the wicker some pieced were harder to put together because they don't perfectly match up and fall flat. The cushions are very thick and comfy. Because there are two end pieces there were two extra pack pillows so when you put the sectional all together all the backs have a pillow. The glass suction comes off making it easy to take it off. Overall very happy with the piece! Great addition for the deck!
