Unfortunately the boxes were delivered badly damaged. I was extremely worried that the furniture would be damaged. There were 2 small areas that were bruised but I decided they would be covered by the cushions. The assembly was not smooth. The pro said the quality control was lacking and he had a difficult time with the assembly. I was glad I didn't opt for trying to do it myself. Once it was done I was happy with the outcome. It's very pretty and comfortable. I wish it would have been a smoother process but I'm happy now.
