I love this couch! It was heavy but I was able to slide it to my apartment by myself. The box was big but not gigantic, so if you live alone this couch is doable by yourself (something I had to keep in mind). One person probably won’t be able to carry it but you could slide or use something with wheels. It took me maybe an hour to put it together and was not difficult at all. So far it feels sturdy but I’m the only one that’s been sitting on it. It’s definitely on the firm side. I don’t know how comfortable it would be overnight, but someone my size (5’4”) could easily sleep on it without having to bend my legs. Most important of all, it is beautiful!! Looks way more expensive than what I paid and the corduroy material feels like it’s good quality. Would highly recommend!
