It arrived as promised and was in 3 boxes so I was able to move it myself with some effort. I am not mechanically inclined at all but I was able to assemble it myself (54 year old woman). I have been enjoying it nightly since and feel especially for the price it was well worth it. I like the look of it in my living room. The faux leather does tear easily but it only tore when I was trying to stretch it for assembly and it is under the seat cushion so does not show. I would recommend this and feel it is a decent value for the $$.
