reading the directions might be a good thing to do
I ordered this sofa on July 4th and it arrived today, Tuesday July 7th, at 4:30. By 5:30, I was sitting on it. The box was slightly larger than I expected and instead of trying to wedge it through my door, I opened the box and brought the pieces in individually. Not a big deal. I read the directions first, something I usually dont do. Im one of those who needs directions?! people but decided that for this, reading the directions might be a good thing to do. I had also read a lot of the reviews before I purchased this, and watched the video; all very helpful. Putting it together was a breeze. The directions are very clear, and all of the pieces fit together perfectly. Some of the reviews mentioned concerns about taking the vacuum packed cushions out of the plastic before you have them inside the covers. I started to do as suggested and place the cushions, still in the package, into the covers before I unsealed the vacuum packed package. But, this process seemed more difficult to me and so I decided to risk it and open the package and then try to stuff the cushions into the covers. They went in very easily, much more easily than I anticipated. My only concern (thus, the 4 stars) is that the back cushions seem very puffy at this point and make the seat area seem short. Im hoping they flatten a bit over time. Other than that, for the price and quality you cant do better. This is an excellent sofa.
