This is just perfect for what I need and I was unable to locate anything similar in the local furniture stores.  Most sofas are too low for me to easily get up - this is a great height to get up from the sofa.  I had my handiman put the item together.  From doing that he could tell it was good quality for the frame.  He said all the holes matched up so he could put it together (has not been the case with other items in the past he's worked on).  The mattress looks perfect in the room for use as a sofa and will be much more comfortable than the sofa bed mattress my guests used in the past.  I am very pleased with this item.
