Very beautiful couch. Perfect for my small living space. The velvet is so soft but the entire couch when sitting is very firm. Was able to put together by myself used the boxes they came in to prop up the couch to connect the arms. Would be better and faster with 2 people but I didnt have any help at the time. No issues that Ive noticed and took around 10 days with delivery. Overall, a very nice couch!
