Purchased this couch for a cottage space so that there was an updated sleeper sofa. Love the ease of opening the bed, my children will leave it out most of the time as foot stools I will imagine. It is comfortable and was easy to assemble. The only true assembly was screwing in the feet on the lounger section (fyi not pre drilled). Everything else was merely sliding pieces together.  Couch is comfortable and the extra storage is a nice addition.
