Came in two large packages. Took my partner and I about 25 mins to assemble and clean up after but 1 person could do it on their own as well. We are both about to sit on it comfortably which is really nice...I can lie down on the chaise part and he can stretch out on the other end. The back part is a bit stiff...the back cushions aren't very thick so you might want to get some pillows to make up foe that. I also was hoping the cushions would be a bit softer. They are pretty firm even after they've fully risen. Definitely not a sink in feeling but I've still fallen asleep on it which is good. Couch easily moves across wooden floor so you might need to prop it up against a wall. Overall I'm satisfied that for the price I paid it is relatively comfortable, brand new, easy to assemble, and large enough for two people to sprawl out on.
