This couch came in 3 boxes. I was able to get the boxes down the stairs into my basement, unpack it and assemble it all in under an hour, completely by myself. The cushions seemed a little too firm at first, but I soon realized after watching a movie on the couch that they are very comfortable. The 2nd time I watched a movie, I fell asleep halfway through, so that also speaks to the comfort level of this couch. The ottoman is very nice as well. This couch was a perfect fit for my room, and I’m very happy with it, especially for the price.
