The chaise feels sturdy, was easy to put together, and is very pretty!  We ordered the charcoal colored chaise, and it goes really well with the rest of our furniture.  We had shopped at three or four different furniture stores, none of which had any chaise to sell - they were surprisingly difficult to find, even to special order.  We are very pleased with the one we ordered online.  The only thing we wish we could change would be to make the backrest taller, as you can't rest your head on it comfortably unless you are very short.  Other than that, it's perfect.
