I bought 2 of these loveseats.  I have now spent about 15 hours trying to put this thing together.  I thought the bolts were too short, nope now I know that it must be a magic 'thing' to get the two seats to connect together.  If anyone know how to do that, that would be helpful.  I am so disappointed, not sure what to do next.  I purchased 2 chairs to match these loveseats.  The chairs were really easy and look good, they took less than 4 hours for both.  Frustrated !!!!
