Unlike most people buying this, I got this for my living room. I wanted something smaller than a full couch or love seat, but still come enough for an adult to sit on. I also have a 10yo daughter who I knew would love playing with these pieces. When I received it, it was vacuum packed, as expected. I used a hairdryer on the foam, per recommendation if you don't want to wait days for it to fluff all the way up. I was shocked at how quickly the foam popped back up with the hairdryer! It was totally good to go after about 40 mins of me "drying" one piece at a time. My daughter immediately went to work making designs with it. Obstacle course, fort, lounge chair, etc. She spent all evening playing with it! It's been a couple of weeks now, and she still loves playing with it. We do a lot of movie nights together at home, and she will set it up in different arrangements for us each time. Always a comfortable set up though, for us both! My husband was a little worried it would end up a mess in the house, but even he is very pleasantly surprised by how nice it looks. It's very quickly and easily put back into a shape that is pleasing to adults, and tidy looking. It looks a bit like a very expensive, but still small, piece of furniture in some of the arrangements. I needed comfort, quality, small footprint, decent price, attractiveness, and fun... I got ALL OF THESE with this adorable little couch! If you're even thinking maybe, you should definitely pull the trigger on this one!
