This sofa is a substantial piece of furniture.  It is heavy  very well made. Im 54 and can lay flat out with room to spare.  I was a fool and ordered the lite yellow. It is a beautiful color, but I have five dogs. It is covered with a king quilt more often then not.  If you are hesitating to purchase something so large  expensive online, go ahead and get this sofa. There is nothing disappointing about it.  It took a while to get here, but it was in perfect condition when it arrived. They brought it right in to the livingroom for me.
