I love this loveseat. When you get it, it comes with the base and the back in two pieces and the legs screw into the bottom piece. Putting the back onto the base was a little difficult to get right because it's a tight fit, but it is possible. The cushions are firm and wonderful. Each cushion is removable so you can wash them, but they fit tightly into the couch and have velcro on the bottom so you don't have to worry about them slipping around. It's also very difficult to lose stuff in the couch because the cushions fit so tightly together. I am over the moon with this purchase. Shipping was extremely quick as this was just under the weight limit that would require it to come freight. It came UPS and I had received it within 4 days of ordering it.
