Was easy to assemble (I did it myself in just 15 minutes). Looks just like the photos and perfect size for my studio apartment. A bit firm so I lean on the throw pillows but the favor seems very durable, my cat digs her claws in and it doesn’t even pull the threads!! Definitely needed help carrying the box up to my 5th floor walkup as it comes in all one box and is heavy. Also, my cat likes it too!
