This took FOREVER to ship. But it finally came and its almost exactly what I thought it would be. It ships in one big box. The box definitely took a beating, but all of the contents were undamaged. I bought the brown leather one and it is definitely darker in real life than it is in the pictures. Assembly was easy. The only reason this loses a star is because of the actual shade of the couch being different than pictured, and also because the couch is HARD. The cushion that comes pre assembled on this couch is basically just material and then springs underneath. Youll feel them. It suits my purpose as just a little loveseat in the home office, but I will not be taking a nap on it any time soon.
