This chair came packaged impeccably. After unboxing, it came in a durable bag that was easy to remove. The memory foam is very compact, which I imagine is for easier shipping. You simply roll, and pull apart the memory foam pieces. The chair does take around 4 days to fully expand. The cover is easy to put on, and incredibly soft. The chair is very large, and very comfortable. My kids absolutely love it. The chair just forms to your body and is relaxing to sit in. 
The only issue I have found is the smell. I’m unsure of the source as to why it smells as bad as it does. It has almost a chemical like odor. You can smell the scent on your clothes after sitting in the chair. That is my only reason for giving this chair 3 stars.
