This sofa was delivered in a box that seemed to have been repackaged; however, there was luckily no damage to the sofa. The sofa arrived in one package and the back cushions in a separate box a few days later.  It took 90 minutes to assemble it and we are pleased overall. The only downside is that the back cushions are extremely thin - they aren't filled very well and definitely not sturdy, like the seat cushions. It's very comfortable if you add additional pillows to the back, which we do for decorative purposes anyway. It's a nice piece.
