This set is exactly as described. It came in 4 boxes. I’m a 63 year old woman s d I was able to completely assemble the set by myself. Important to follow directions and tighten all screws once all have been started in the piece you’re working on. I had no problem as I followed advice on other reviews. When all of the screw packages are taken out of box 4 be sure to note that there is a hex ratchet in there. I missed it and didn’t see it until I was looking for the connectors that keep the pieces of the sofa together. That would have made my job so much easier to assemble. Wonderful set!
