I live in a 2nd floor apt, and wanted to sectional but couldn’t find one small enough to pass the door way. This one was perfect it came in boxes, very well packed.  I got 6 boxes maybe 5 don’t remember for sure.  My son brought the boxes upstairs and he and my husband build it about 30 minutes max. The pillows were inside the bottom of the sofas. It is soft, super comfortable but firm. The decorative pillows are so cute. The back of the sofas can be removed just in case you need to sleep on it. I think they width is almost like a twin without the back.
