My 10 year old daughter and I set this up without instructions in about 30 minutes! I was pleasantly surprised of the quality for the price! I know you get what you pay for but this feels like I got more then I paid for and I love that! If you are hesitant, don’t be! You can arrange it so many ways so my kids have fun with that. Our family of 4 fits comfortably. Also, the cushions take a couple of days to fluff up. This was right out of the box in the picture! No issues with hardware and having pain in my hips, this couch is easy to get on and off which is great for me! I’ll update after some wear and tear! Very happy customer here!
