Great tufted Poly/Linen durable fabric and Mid-Century look. Firm and comfy. The back slides onto two metal pieces that secure it into place. It takes some coodination. If you force it, you may never get it apart again to realign and try again. The legs come with an Allen wrench to screw the bolts onto the base. So no tools needed. Once in place the Loveseat is a great addition. Not large but perfect for a small room.
