First, this living room set will arrive in 5 separate boxes to your residence and you will have to assemble. Unfortunately, I did not have help and it took 2.5 hrs to assemble. Second, the instructions are easy and with help, assembly can be a breeze. Third, I love the contemporary style. I could not have asked for more, from the color to the detail. Lastly, it has only been a week, but the couches are firm (which I preferred). Also, I have all hardwood floors and I asked Wayfair beforehand about the legs of the chairs. Let me say, they will shift if you have hardwood and no wall to prop against. I simply put felt tips on the legs to avoid scratching my hardwood. I will follow up with another review after 6 months.
