I really wanted to love this chaise lounge and anxiously awaited its arrival. The directions were not well written and included pictures that were difficult to understand.  This lounge comes in pieces and you need to slide metal connectors together. It was hard to assemble because of this. It took me a long time to get the pieces attached and pushed in place properly. In addition,  the screws that came with the lounge were too short. I was unable to attach the side and back of the chaise. I had to use my own screws which ended up being too long but ended up working out in the end since you cant see them. Overall, Im giving it 3 stars because it did come out nicely. However, had I known how this couch was assembled and the parts used to assemble it, I would not have bought it. The price is too steep for what you end up getting.
