I absolutely love love love this piece. Its perfect for my apartment living room area  definitely adds to the overly relaxing cozy vibe Im going for. It took my godfather a little over 3 hours to assemble (and he has much experience assembling furniture). As people have assisted me with putting the bulk of my Wayfair furniture order together, theyve all said its all overly complicated. I personally am not a builder and dont have the patience for it. Im more for the end result. ....which is a beautiful piece of furniture. Nonetheless, Im happy overall and do recommend. This piece is perfect for a smaller space such as my apartment living room, or a bedroom. If you have a huge space, youll be disappointed and say this unit is too small. Its important to guage the right furniture size for the right living space.
