I am an interior decorator and saw this sofa and purchased it for my house! It’s super easy to assemble…I did it myself without help from my husband….except for getting out of the boxes. It’s heavy! Sofa is so cool looking. But if you’re looking for cushy comfort, this sofa is quite firm. I purchased down pillow inserts for the pillows that come with the sofa, and that helped. Also purchased a super soft comfy throw which also helped.
