Sofa arrived well packaged and fully assembled. Worth getting the delivery service to have the sofa delivered, unwrapped and packaging removed. Also got the Ottoman matching the sofa which complements the sofa well. The seating surface is a little short given that the rear pillows are very plush and solid. This is not a soft sofa since it has the sleeper frame underneath but it is quite comfortable. Fits 2 people well or one stretched out. Nice thick mattress on the sleeper bed. Overall would recommend this sofa for apartments or lofts.
