Love this big beautiful sofa! I live in a small apartment so it took a while to rearrange things to make it fit! Instructions were very easy to follow. One person can put feet and cushions on, but it definitely takes two people to line up brackets and screws the arms, sides and back of the sofa and to connect all 3 pieces together correctly, if you have a 3rd person help itll get set up much easier and faster. I have 3 almost grown kids, and myself and we all fit comfortably on this Chill out Sofa. Its definitely comfortable, but at my almost middle age I use an extra pillow behind my back for extra support. They shipped in about a week and they arrived in 3 separate rather large boxes. My adult son and I had no problems, unwrapping or stuffing the boxes in the giant dumpster. My boys also got the sofa pretty dirty the first few weeks, and I was able to scrub the dirt out with a little warm water and laundry detergent, with a damp sponge. Overall, I love this sofa! Its my first big purchase besides my car after my divorce, being a single parent has its own issues alone, but its so nice hanging with my kids together on our first sofa as a family, and this sofa definitely brings us together!
