It was pretty easy to put together.  Not crazy heavy but sturdy.  One of the legs, which are plastic outer had some scratches.  Luckily upon tightening it you could not see them as the leg turned out to be facing under the couch in the direction not seen.  The legs have a long threaded screw center point that goes into a threaded hole at each corner of the seat.  It overall came in good condition and looked great upon completion.  The dark gray was so close to black, I couldnt see any other color there besides black.  Though its darker than I wanted, Im not troubling myself to return it.  Ill make it work.  4 stars from me because this one looks great, but doesnt get the award for comfort.  Price point was good, looks good... Downer though that it doesnt come with an ottoman like most of the sectionals from this manufacturer do.
