This leather sofa is very easy to put together. It only takes a few minutes after bottom half is in its new location. It does come with a one page instruction, but is so simple you almost do not need it. Also it comes in a large cardboard box with a clear plastic bag over it. It came  professionally delivered with no damage. The only thing that puzzled me was that there was no foam packing to protect it. Over all great made product and will buy from them again !!!
