very light, easy to put together; came in two separate boxes. couch consists of 4 pieces (bottom; back and two sides) + 5 cushions. The three back cushions and the two seating cushions packed vacuum sealed, took about 24 hrs for all five pieces to regain their "usable" sizes. comfy, I love that it is wider than "regular" couches. perfect for napping, however, this is not the everyday traffic couch. have this piece for about 6 months now, with half the time not even being used and it already feels worn out on some spots. still, it is an ok option for apartment leaving as it comes easily apart when in need to take it out the hallways, stairs and / or elevators.
