Hello! Chiming in from Baltimore, MD. We just bought this two days ago and could not be happier. Other than some planning to get it home (it required rental of a Home Depot van and a friend's pick up truck); it was a really easy process. The Costco people helped load it into our vehicles then we drove it home. There is one large box with the three armless units; it was easier to open that box and bring the chairs in separately. The large box is very clunky and awkward.
'Assembly' is screwing on the feet - my 6yr old did this. The pre-assembled locking hardware is a pleasant surprise and unlocks very easy.
This is the absolute best family sofa for space that will allow you to re-configure it as needed. We LOVE this. Oh and it is comfortable!
