We bought this for our city apartment and it’s perfect! It came in two really tall boxes - possible to carry alone for one strong person but most people would need someone to help. Assembly was around a half hour with two people. The material is a soft, almost silky polyester - not velvet like the other colors but I still love it! It’s wide which I like, my boyfriend is around 6 feet and he can stretch out on it. Only thing is the cushions are pretty firm, which doesn’t bother me but it’s definitely not a couch that you’ll sink into, unless it gets broken in well!
