The couch came in 6 boxes, which had us skeptical at first, but now a couple weeks after we set it up, we love it!! We have fallen asleep lying down many times on this couch. We can arrange it to be however we want for maximum sitting comfort. Cushions are firm but still comfortable. It’s not the fanciest or most decorative couch but super practical and guest-friendly. The beige color worked well for us.
