I LOVE this couch! I've been wanting a convertible one for awhile now and here it is. Super comfy and so soft! It adds that pop of lush style that my boring old gray couch just didn't do. The box it came in was pretty so small. I thought no way there is a whole couch in there.. but it was! Over all the assemble took about and hour by myself so not too bad. It seems really sturdy and I would suggest it for a friend
