This was incredibly easy to assemble and is exactly as pictured. Exactly what that means is hard to know as there's not a lot of relatable scale in the photo. It's a bit shorter than I expected (especially the back), and VERY firm. I suspect it may get softer as time goes on, but I'm not entirely convinced I'm going to keep it. The bottom cushion is attached, so it can't be flipped – which makes me think it's not going to last very long.
