I had been trying to order this for almost a year. At first it was unavailable then the seller increased the price almost daily. At one time it was almost $100 more than originally priced so I definitely wasnt going to buy it. Finally he lowered it to its original price. Despite the reviews Im glad I purchased it. It came earlier than expected and wasnt as hard to assemble as stated in many reviews. The quality is great, very firm and expensive looking. I do wish it came in brown leather but this black isnt too dark so it looks very elegant in front of my bed. Great so far Ive only had it for a few days though. Will post again in 4 months ....This chaise is an awesome addition to my living space. It's well priced for furnature and big enough to make a good impression on guests. I have no alarming complaints about the fabric, studded details, or any other visual aspect. I am a huge fan of the storage space which is a nice touch. Overall, a fair buy when you factor in the wobbley legs. We started to feel the shift when you get on & off after a week or two of nornal use. Now, I'm thinking of reinforcing it somehow to keep the legs from breaking off. Hmm...Everything we expected for the price. Packing was good. Dont over tighten. I did and heard a crack, but was able to repair myself. Good for sitting but not for laying if your over 5 foot tall. Our kids love it. The storage is a bonus. Firm cushions. Like a fancy ottoman.I think it's gorgeous, wish I could put it together, taking the lid off now so maybe that will help, not thrilled with the build design. Most problems I have had with anything I have ever bought.Took the lid off which helped a lot, also when you seat a bolt more into the next one, do not tighten as you will need room to seat the otherside, because of the leather.The end product is really nice, but plan 4 hours out of your day to deal with it (from beginning to end). It took 1 hour to unpack this item and actually get to the parts. The amount of saran wrap/bubble wrap/cardboard is completely insane and will take up your entire garbage can for two weeks. It took 3 hours with the assistance of another person to assemble the whole product. The pre-drilled holes don't match up easily and it was just extremely difficult and frustrating to assemble this.I'm with Putt Lilly. Extremely easy to put together and I'm not a handsy person at all.The instructions were off, but looking at its easy to figure out. Not comfortable, yet, probablyly have to break it in. Overall, I'm contentvery nice I love itJust what I ordered. East to put together even it being in 3 pieces. Being used I used my own tools .But super easy ?
