Living in a fourth floor walk-up, I needed something that could arrive in pieces. My couch came in manageable boxes, with each element of the couch protected in it's own lovely, custom packaging. It was easy to put together, and I even got creative with mine and turned into a loveseat and chaise to better fit my small Brooklyn apartment. It's a firm couch, but that means cushioning does not sag and still looks new. I love that the presence of the couch isn't bulky or over-commanding. Perfect for me, and I'm even considering making my own custom slipcover for it.
