Well packaged. The pieces came in three boxes. The third on arrived one day after.  Assembling was so simple.  Its very well made and so sturdy.  Mine is dark grey.  Color in ads is true. Love love it. Fabric feels nice and luxurious. Cushion and backrest are firm in a good way. (Will definitely last for years).  It does not come with pillows, which is good.  I could add pillows in size and color I like to match my decor.  Dont think twice. Buy it!
