the sectional is very nice and was packaged very well including the glass top which was protected. the packages (2 big boxes) was unharmed and not damaged. the assembly took some time and was very detailed. expect one hour assembly or longer depending on your skills. Wife is happy, kid is happy, family and friends like to hang out and not go home now. well built and highly recommended for the price. PS, the hardest piece to put together was the coffee table/ottoman.
