So I read every review on this couch, I knew ahead of time that the main complaints were: threads, slippery cushions, and assembly. My husband is very handy, he put this together in maybe an hour by himself, he said it was easy just tedious. A footscrew did come warped, but its an easy fix. For the slippery comments, it is slick, but we don't move around much, our 7 year old has issues with the slippery cushions, but the adults do not. We may velcro it down or put felt on the bottom of the cushions later, but we don't have immediate plans at the moment because its not necessary.  There are many threads, but we just snipped them off and called it a day. This is a great couch for the price range, we love it. I've been working and studying out here, and it is comfy.
