I absolutely love this couch/sofa! it ships in multiple boxes which makes set up much easier.  I was actually able to move a 9 seat couch/sofa into a loft by myself. Set up is a breeze, the instructions are easy to follow. The couch is firm but softens quickly to a very comfortable density. Pair it with the storage bench (pictured) and you have a movable item that can make a very comfortable bed on the fly. The fabric is a brushed muslin that has a classic and timeless feel.I highly recommend this line, and will be either shipping this with me to Paris, or getting another.
