I am very happy with this couch!  It comes in a single huge box that I was actually able to get up a flight of stairs by myself, although it took some muscling and a couple rests.  The couch is fairly simple to put together, arms are tucked under couch with hardware.  I did have some trouble with one of the slanted legs, one of the screwholes was mis-drilled so I couldn't get the last screw to go in.  I tried everything even undoing the rest and starting with the trouble hole but it's just mis-drilled I'm assuming.  Hopefully the one screw missing won't make a difference.  Only other gripe I have is that the couch is not very comfortable to just lay down on in regular couch mode.  I'm also a bigger guy so I'm guessing normal sized individuals will be more comfortable.  It's very nice to sit on and offers back support which I appreciate.  Overall I am pretty darn happy with this purchase.
