It came in a big box, and I received it two days earlier than originally told. There were a few dents on the legs, but nothing to worry about. You do have to put this together, so set aside at least 30-40 minutes to put it together.  I attached a picture. My camera phone is messed up, so the couch does not have discoloring to it. It is a little bit darker than the photo online, but I was ok with it. It has a heathered look to it. I still love it. It is perfect for my tiny living room.
