The set comes in 5 large boxes and everything but the firepit is assembled - which was key for me when I purchased.  It's actually smaller than I expected but it will still work. The seats also aren't as deep as the set I currently have, and if I saw this couch in person I probably wouldn't have purchased for that reason. It's definitely not a couch you can lay down on to nap/relax. Decent to just sit on, but the cushions are very firm. Overall, its fine for the price.
