When I looked for a sofa, all I cared about was finding a sapphire blue sofa. This one hit the mark, and it was on sale. So, I got two!!! It came in about four pieces per sofa not including the pillows. My boyfriend has a furniture repair business. He knows great furniture when he sees it. As he was putting it together, his exact statement was as followed: "This is some d&$@ good furniture!!!" He went on and on about the quality of the wood and construction. He said we will have this for a long time...Great Craftsmanship!!!
