The couch is beautiful. I love the vanilla suede color. It's also very comfortable. However, assembly was difficult due to terrible instructions and missing parts. The kit I received did not include enough washers, so I will have to buy some. The fabric rips very easily when attaching the arms/back to the base. The wood frame is splitting near the places where holes were drilled to attach to arms/back to the base. I love the look and feel of this couch, but I am worried it won't last long and I will have wasted my money.
