I just received this couch in black yesterday and I am in love. It took me maybe an hour to put together by myself and the majority of that time was spent bringing the boxes down to my basement. It comes in 6 boxes, each box has instructions in it and all the parts needed for that particular seat, and no tools are required for assembly. It’s comfortable and super big. It’ll be perfect for when I’m entertaining guests. It seems sturdy, like it’ll hold up for awhile, but I’ll update my review in a few months to see if that proves to be true. So far, so good!
