So it was easy to put together, and the material is lovely. We are use to a very large soft 4 seater and this is nothing like that… size is good, but it’s fairly firm,the only reason I haven’t sent it back is because that firmness is softened a little by springs, making it a little bouncy. Its very stable and you would not know it was also a bed. It’s extremely simple to lay flat and take out the hidden legs, it’s great for matching TV if you want to be a bit more relaxed. It definitely needs cushions because you can also half it half layer back but it’s awkward, cushions are a must. The colour is gorgeous too. The material gathers a little at the sides just under the arms, so I think over time it’s going to get a little saggy…All in all it’s not, and the dog likes it.
