Just what I was looking for. I needed a couch big enough for visitors to sleep on that didn’t break the bank yet had a polished look and this couch was it. It took about one hour for me to put together but would be much easier with 2 people. Keep in mind I have put furniture together before. Packaging was very thick and glued very well so it took scissors or a knife to get the box open. Nothing was damaged and it came wrapped in a black bag to protect it during travel and unboxing. It lays down flat and is firm. The seat cushions are on the firmer side so you may need a foam pad if you like to sleep on a cushy surface. Expecting my guests to enjoy this couch. Very happy with how it all turned out and is a great deal for the price. Would have given it 5 stars but the box was so thick it was hard to open and the couch is a bit firm for my taste.
