Couch is beautiful and feels sturdy. Cushions are on the firm side which is expected from a sofa. The pillows are stuffed with the material used to cover the wood at the bottom. After a few days I noticed white semi-thick fibers randomly springing through I guess from the pressure of sitting on it I just pull them out lol. Anyways both packages arrived together. I was a bit nervous because the sofa didn't look like it would fit into just 2 boxes. Before starting I counted and labeled the screws/parts to make assembly easier. I put it together by myself and it took almost 3 hrs so two people are better. While one puts on the legs with one tool the other can put on the sofa arms with the other tool.
