I would give this chaise 27 stars if I could. It comes shipped in 1 big shrink wrapped piece. All you have to do is put the feet on and youre done. I ordered the cream, and it might be lighter than the website looks, but its so soft. The material is very thick and layered and will hold up well with pets. The covers for the main piece and all 4 pillows unzip to be removed and washed. I cant say enough, and obviously my dog loves it!!
