Based on the photos, this sofa looked ideal.  The entire sofa arrived in one box, all of the cushions were vacuum sealed, the whole thing required assembly. It was literally in pieces.  The description does say assembly required, just not the extent of the assembly.  The cushions were flat and wrinkled, and after 48+ hours out of the vacuum seal, the shape did not change. The whole thing felt flimsy at best.  Needless to say, the item looked nothing like the photos...  I would not recommend this sofa at all.
