While this *is* adorable as the other reviews pointed out, I will tell you that it is as comfortable as sitting on a park bench. If you are looking for furniture that invites people to sit and hang out, this is NOT the piece.
I think it would be great for an office waiting room, but IMHO, certainly not for a living room, unless you don't want people to stay. I sat on it for several minutes, and my butt actually got a little restless in it.
Having said that, assembly was a SNAP. And even though it calls for 2 people to assemble, I did it myself pretty quickly (the back is a challenge with only one person as you need to line up the hardware and slide in simultaneously.). No tools required, though they say a screwdriver is needed, I didn't need.
The packaging was very environmentally thoughtful, the arms are stored INSIDE the base so there is no styrofoam or excess cardboard. Very cool packaging indeed.
Too bad I have to send it back. (I hope it's not a pain to do so)
