I’ve had this sofa for a few months now and I still love it! The blue color is gorgeous and the velvet fabric is still looking great even with a cat and sharp claws. It’s still very firm but it’s comfortable to sit on to watch tv or read a book. Not necessarily a great sofa for sleeping even if that’s a main feature. The section that lifts has firm edges that you can feel through the seat and makes and awkward sleeping top. I am able to nap occasionally on it even without lowering the back and that’s enough for me. I’m so happy I purchased this! It was so easy to put together and I did it solo so that’s good.
