We really enjoy the way this sofa looks in our space! The sofa came in three separate boxes. One actually arrived one day after the first two. It did take a little while to put together. The cushions were vacuum sealed, so when they were opened they puffed up. You have to place the seat cushions in the covers and the fit is quite tight. When all was said and done though, we have a large and comfortable centerpiece to enjoy as a family.
