I needed a modular couch because I wasn't sure of the space in my living room.  Luckily all the pieces fit together nicely.  It came in 7 different boxes and I put it together alone, so it was easy enough.  There was one pull in the fabric and some wood missing from one of the legs, but I just put that one in back.  It's very firm, but breaking in nicely. I've received many compliments.
