Having never done so, was very apprehensive to make such a major piece of furniture & purchase amount online.
Kept researching, measuring, reading details, options, reviews, so actually had it sitting in wish list for months.
BUT with coupon discount already available in listing, once AMAZON offered such a GREAT lightning deal too, we finally decided to go ahead and order. Just in time for the holidays AND now, so glad we did !!
9 large boxes shipped quickly & arrived all at once. FEDEX delivery was excellent..did not stack but neatly lined up boxes side by side. No damage at all to boxes OR any pieces inside.
Packaging of each unit in a spunbond type of fabric "bag" made it easy to lift each pre-assembled storage base up & out of box. So each box wouldn't have to be sliced or "torn" open (just in case of return). And by pre-assembled I mean each "storage" base already had the spring hardware inside installed & ready to flip open. Yay !
Assembly of the "backs" does take a bit of time & some muscle, but you only have to use a phillips head screwdriver. And multiples are provided!

The first back was a bit tricky to attach to its base, but once lined up right & you get the hang of it, found they fit in quite easily & tightly thereafter.
The metal hardware & concept to secure each base together to keep them from sliding apart upon sitting is so much more clever & sturdy than any other design we have dealt with on sectionals before AND are hidden from view once secured.
We purchased a set of 8 flip-open modules w/ backs & attached to each other... plus 1 backless "ottoman" base unattached to any others so that we can move it around freely to accomodate whichever way we like, when we like. The arrangement options are awesome & the storage in each base is most definitely a plus.
Cushions & back pillows have piping for a nice finished touch & will hold shape much better than end seams just sewn together.
Also the cushions need some time to decompress & "rise". I read in reviews that some people didn't do this & if you sit on it before doing so you will feel like the cushions are too soft & sinking. But once you let it expand properly, we found the seats to be firm yet soft & comfortable to sit on, recline, or lie down.
Last but not least, we chose black velvet fabric & it really is VELVET. A very nice surprise. It's not a pseudo-type of velvet, so it's a deep rich black color AND unlike other one-way pile velvets or faux suede velvets, (which we have had in the past) with 2 cats, have found their fur wipes off easily, just as was advertised.

So our experience thus far has been extremely pleasant & positive. We have no idea how long or how well it will hold up but are very very pleased with this purchase.

After 1 800 junking 2 couches that were destroyed by covid cats...I didn't have one for about 2 years...we retained the 2 cats who were civilized but I was hesitant to buy another couch. This couch is very soft and pleasant to sit on, the cats try to pick it but quickly give up. I've had it10 days and have not found any picks. It comes in multiple boxes but easily comes together and every seat has storage. Ottomans move smoothly for different configuration..could easily be used for sleeping space, especially for kids. Color is deep and gorgeous...slight color difference on one ottoman..but you really have to look. Or use a blanket ...

I'm in LOVE with this couch! I previously had a modern leather sectional that was never really comfortable. When it started peeling I decided it was time to replace it. My requirements were something modern, modular, comfortable, affordable, and good quality. I went to several furniture stores and websites but couldn't find "the one." I checked out the popular, overpriced cardboard like sectional we all heard of and was not impressed. I loved the feeling of some of the cloud style couches but they looked too frumpy to me. Then...I found The Belffin! This couch was a gamer changer. It's the perfect blend of comfort, quality, and sophistication. Plus, it has storage and reclining backrests!!! What more could a girl ask for? This set would be like 10K if it was the love "couch." Anyway, the product arrived in record time with straightforward instructions and all the tools you need to assemble it. This literally came with a real screwdriver for each ottoman (a good one too). If this isn't thoughtful I don't know what is. Honestly, I think it's a cost savings opportunity for the seller, but the thought is certainly appreciated. The couch itself is good quality and comfortable to sit and sleep on. The material is soft but resilient as I have two poms who still sneak on my couch from time to time leaving drool and pawprints behind. However, I've been able to get them up with ease using only a damp rag. It's very easy to configure this couch to suit your needs even for someone who's 125 lbs. Right now I'm digging the pit style but I can change it whenever I like which is the beauty of it.

Also, if you're looking for this same ginormous set I recommend starting with ASIN: B0B5X73TTR. I wish I saw this configuration first because you save some money buying in bulk.

Overall I'm very happy with this couch. If you're contemplating about buying this, I would say it's time to pull the trigger. You'll thank me later.
