The chaise was damaged as seen in the photos. The frame is separated at the corner and broken through the fabric just behind where the pillow goes. This is a structural issue and the backrest wiggles like a loose tooth.
Simple assembly, except some screws were difficult to get in using the provided tool; they started to creak as if screwing into a knot, but I think it was the fabric being pulled in like Teflon tape. I used a drill to make the pilot holes a bit larger. I also used a power drill with low torque setting to screw and that helped a lot.
Fitting the sections together can be a bit of a trick by yourself. Its not immediately noticeable if you only latch 2/3 of the clips, but if you rock it side to side, you can tell the difference.
Good, but arrived damaged
