I waited on this purchasing this sectional for a YEAR. I compared multiple sectionals for months; size,  cushion density,  reviews,  price.  I finally had the courage to purchase! The boxes came in two separate deliveries and on time.  You are notified about the shipping,  the number of boxes,  and where they are in the shipment.  It was super easy to put together,  my 13 year old daughter put together while I broke down boxes.  Let me say,  I'm in LOVE. It's super functional,  firm but quality material,  and so much softer than I had expected.  It was on sale for 1,000 and I used a 10% off coupon for new member.  I'm not sure how long it will manetain but I'm super happy with purchasing a sectional sight unseen.
