I bought 2 of these chaises and they are exactly as pictured. They were delivered as promised. There is virtually no assembly required other than to extend the 2 legs underneath and attach the armrests. All that was needed was an Allen wrench and some big bolts which came with the chaises. Attach the arms and tighten the bolts for the legs then grab a nice cold drink, a good book and enjoy! They are sturdy and the seat is wide-really nice product at a really great price.
