This sectional comes in three huge boxes. It took the two of us a little over an hour to unpack everything and put it together. We're really happy with the quality of the entire piece. The bottom cushion is firm but comfortable enough for outdoor seating. We wish the back cushions could be secured like the bottom cushion, but overall, we like it enough to keep it. I give it a four because it came with a terrible smell. It honestly smells like gasoline. We're hoping this goes away after being outside for a bit.
