I received this sectional last night, only 2 days after the ship date. Which I was very pleased with. It came in 8 large boxes. The setup of the sectional was a bit tedious, as it used a cheapo wrench (provided) and an allen wrench. My thumbs are very sore today from using those little hand tools. 

Once we got it all put together it is great. Our balcony is narrow so we were able to set up the sectional a little different than in the pictures and it fir perfectly. 

I think it should be noted that on some of the pieces, there was wicker strips in front of the screw holes which made it really hard to get the piece together unless you cut the wicker. Which i did not want to do but had to. 

Overall the furniture is very comfortable and lightweight and compact.
