I read every review on this convertible sofa before ordering it.  I can't tell you how pleased I am.  I am a designer so whatever I order has to be perfect and this sofa is.  The fabric is a high quality tweed, the construction is solid, the design is stylish, and it was a snap to put together - I did it myself in about 30 minutes.  The seat is firm, but not uncomfortable.  I have sat and laid on it and I don't have any complaints.  It will see occasional use over time, and I have no doubt that it will stand its test of time.  All in all, I can say that it looks far more expensive than its price, and has all of the attributes that my client is looking for, so I highly recommend it!
