The 360 degree pictures shows a single backrest piece / one solid piece that connects the arms and extends from the floor to the top of the couch. This is a huge issue for structural integrity of the couch.
The model we received has two backrests / one for the loveseat and one for the chaise lounge. They attach to the respective base units. The chaise lounge backrest did not lock into place on one end, so it does not line up properly with the loveseat backrest.
There are vendors who apparently sell a different version of this couch with a single backrest. Those are probably better. They cost more, but use fewer pieces.
Overall this is a good value. However, it comes in so many pieces that it does not feel as solid as a single piece construction. The backrests slide into place and should lock. But my chaise lounge backrest doesnt lock on one end, so it pops up. Horrible to put together.
