This is a very nice love-seat. My only complaint being that the black fabric in the covers had bled slightly onto the cream. Must have been in a humid environment during storage or shipping. This was assembled easily in about an hour. The slip covers are essential to its appearance and endurance as the cover on the sections is very flimsy - not of upholstry strength. The only trouble I had was pushing the left back bracket together. Got it to within 1/2" but my weight would not set it down. My son had no trouble pushing it for me. I didn't want to use a mallet due to the covering. The covers fit very well and everything velcros nice and tight.. Marilyn. Hartford, IL. Sat May 20 2017
