Like a lot of other people have said this couch is very very hard.  However, for some ppl, especially with bad backs, this is a good thing! Going to get a foam mattress topper for when we need to use it as a sleeper.  My husband put it together by himself and he said it was easy.  Comes in two separate shipments and instructions were downloadable on Wayfair’s website.  The color is absolutely true to color and it’s gorgeous.  Low to the ground so makes my small apartment look spacious.
