Couches arrived well packed and no resl assembly, although we ordered tangerine and the cushions came with the linen covers so they all had to be changed. Nice to have extras now tho. The bottom cushions ate quite hard but I am hopeful they will soften in time. The back cushions are way too under stuffed, so that when you sit back you kinda fall back. I am going to try adding additional stuffing to see if thats better. We are also going to have to purchase clips to keep the pieces together. It is a very attractive set. Love the tangerine!
