It came in 3 boxes to minimize damage in shipping.. which is kind of a nightmare. Box 3 arrived the same day but hours apart. The third box. The one that is most important. Cant b put together without it . Its pretty simple to put together. U do want two people to connect the chaise and sofa together. Its very firm. Not really made for everyday use in my opinion. Great for den office guestroom. Kids play place.. maybe.
