It is a gorgeous couch there’s no denying it... but assembly is DEFINITELY a two person job. Shipments comes in two 35lb boxes and because of the way the arms connect to the base you’ll need another pair of hands. The cushions are comfy but the way the frame is made it’s not a comfy couch to lay on (you can feel the wooden divider  in the middle). Again the couch is gorgeous but I would only purchase for a sitting area, not as an everyday lounging couch as it feels kind of fragile. I ended up keeping the old couch because of this fact and will likely just put a couch cover on it.
