Delivery took about a month, but shipping was free, so you get what you pay for there.

All of the cushions and back sections (for assembly), came packed inside the hollow base sections. Assembly wasnt too bad and I put it together myself in about an hour.

The back sections, against which you recline, bolt onto the base sections, then you set the cushions in place.

There was only one problem, and that was with a staple that was poking out through the pleather ottomans side. I pounded it down with a hammer, so now theres only a small hole in the side of the ottoman base.

For about 640, this is a pretty good couch. My only gripe is that the chaise section does not attach to the main section, so they can easily get pushed apart. And, after bolting the backs to the bases, the backs can wobble a little bit.
