It's what you would expect from a sofa in this price range.  The couch comes in smaller boxes and requires a lot of assembly.  Although the assembly was easy, it was annoying that all the cushions were vacuum-sealed and arrive completely flattened.  I would also have liked to know that the back of the sofa isn't a single piece, but composed of 2 separate parts with a large (ugly) gap between them.  I had originally planned to place the sofa in the middle of the room, but the ugliness of the back really needs to be hidden against a wall.  I would not recommend this sofa.
