Easy to put together (two people is definitely helpful but could probably have managed on my own). Does have a bad smell to it when first taken out of the box, hopefully this will go away. I would say that it's too small for two people to comfortably lounge and watch tv. When measured it's only 76" not that those 2 inches would really make a difference (my fault for not pre-measuring the space but hadn't moved into the apartment yet and I guess 78" just seems longer in my head). 

All in all this is a great and nice looking sofa for a small space and if you're living on your own. The light gray is exactly the color I was hoping for and the fabric isn't rough. It's pretty comfortable for the price and I do love the way it looks. We might purchase the love seat for extra seating.
