We purchased the 5-piece sectional in May, and it's delivered in August. So, it took about 3 months. It takes about 40 mins to assemble, and some holes do not align well so we ended up using our drill. The sectional looks good and is comfortable. But you may want to use extra cushions to support your back. We have been using it for about a month and have not noticed any stains yet. But they can be an issue later. I am not sure if I can wash the cover. The customer service was excellent!
