I am really happy with the size and look of the chair and also the versatility of it.  However, a couple of critiques are in order.  #1 It is not just firm is it hard.  It will certainly need a foam pad for someone to sleep on it in it's extended position.  #2 The instructions really should tell you that two people are needed to assemble it.  While I managed, with difficulty, and one section did say two people were needed, there were other steps that definitely would have made it a lot easier to assemble with an additional set of hands.  After getting all together finally, and discovering how hard it is for sitting on, there was no way I was going to take it apart and try to get it back into the three boxes it came in to return it.  I am just hoping that it gets more comfortable with time and use.  Again, I do like the look of it and it fits perfectly as I had hoped in the spot I bought it for.
