The men who dropped it off were very nice and helped me get it up to my apartment door, which leads to a big staircase. I kept reading on the reviews here that the box was not that heavy. Be warned: if you will be going up any type of stairs by yourself, do not attempt to lift this. It is very heavy. I wound up having to cut the box open, bring the headboard up, take out the cushions and parts inside the couch in order to get the bottom of the couch upstairs by myself. It took longer to get it up the stairs than it did to assemble. Also be aware: if youre physically and mentally exhausted from bringing it upstairs, give it some time before you start assembling because even simple instructions will seem confusing. I wound up putting an arm on the wrong side of the couch and it took forever to get the brackets to release. Rest of it was a piece of cake and I immediately collapsed into the medium/firm couch. I recommend putting throw pillows on it and youll fall right asleep after all of that.
Very heavy: Be wary of stairs
