I needed a smaller piece for my home office and this fit the bill. Super easy to put together (just screw on the legs). It isn't that comfortable to sit on--it feels like the bench part sort of slants downward--and it isn't that comfortable when laid out, either. However, it fits into room, and serves its purpose. If you're looking for a real piece of furniture, this is not it, but if you're looking for something you don't plan to use much but that looks nice and stylish, this is a good piece.
