First let me start by saying that I was hesitant to purchase this item because of these bad reviews about missing components and all that, so I decided to do a comprehensive review addressing all the topics that had me thinking twice about doing it.
1) missing parts: everything is in the lower compartments, just undo the Velcro and youll find everything, it is clearly labeled.
2) no instructions: the instruction booklet is included but you dont even need it because this is pretty self explanatory.
3) gaps between components after assembly: as you should do with all construction, dont tighten anything all the way until all the corners are approximated. If you do, it will be lopsided. Same as changing a tire.
4) couch is hard: I admit it is not the softest couch Ive sat on, but I assembled it 30 seconds ago so I imagine it will get softer as I break it in
5) poor construction: the couch is sturdy, every assembly point is firmly mounted and the couch does not wobble at all, it is solid after assembly
6) Velcro doesnt match cushions: my Velcro matched perfectly
I would not only recommend this purchase, but buy it again. The brown leather looks very elegant and is not cheap looking. For 500, you cant beat it
