Like so many others, I was reluctant to buy a couch— I was hemming and hawing for over 5 months. Finally bit the bullet and chose this one after reading another review from the same perspective and I’m in love!! It’s so soft and big (I’m 6ft tall, my man is 6’3/4 and we are comfortableeeeee). Assembly definitely is more effective with 2 people, if not to just have one person decipher the instructions; they’re not the simplest to read but once you eventually understand, it’s easy to put together. I’m so excited to have this couch, I’m sleeping on it tonight hahaha
