I absolutely love this couch!!!! Couple of things the cushions are one whole which bend to velcro attach to the couch. The couch itself is hollow(which is where the cushions come in) each seat is one box therefore you will get 8 large boxes. Each seat has a metal connector at the bottom which attaches to the other seat. The whole couch is a little lower than I anticipated even though I read the dimensions. Still love it though!! I can be in the kitchen and see both my toddlers playing in the living room! Overall I do love and enjoy this sectional sofa! Very easy to instal, you don’t even need the directions that come with it.
