I was shocked at how easy this went together!!! The hardware (four legs and six bolts) was tucked up inside the chaise lounge like a spare tire. I admit this seemed a bit strange at first but it really saves time and prevents damage to the "leather". The chaise is exceptionally comfortable...that may change over a long period of time. I have seizures so we bought this so that I could lay down periodically in my home office. It's so easy to work and a safe, comfortable piece of furniture!  

Pros: Comfortable, easy to put together
Cons: None
