The couch is attractive and pretty comfortable but obviously it isn’t an overstuffed soft plush couch. The backs of each piece adjust to upright, a 45 degree angle, or flat.  It was easy to assemble. The couch and chaise have brackets on each side that slide together and that’s how the arms attach too. The chaise converts to the size of a twin bed so they can be two separate beds or one king bed depending on guests. I am getting a king memory foam mattress topper because it’s very firm.  We picked this couch for a game room that converts to a guest room and it’s perfect for that. It’s firm and light - not intended for flopping on it and binge watching shows.
