This came in 3 different boxes and my husband was able to put it together in less than 2 hours with a power tool, so it wasn't too bad. The cushions were a bit thinner than I expected but it's still quite comfortable. I like that it's big enough for 5 people to enjoy, and for the price compared to other products, I thought this was a great value. The only reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the colour was grey, not navy blue, as shown in the picture. We still like it but it's just misleading.
