The pictures do it justice. It's a great-looking, very sexy couch. It comes in one manageable box and is very easy to put it together. As a bed, it's a little smaller than we expected, so it may be most comfortable for one person. The cushions are comfortable but firm, so you may want to supplement with an egg crate when you set it up as a bed if you want something softer. Finally, although the fabric is great, there seem to be a handful of loose threads (that we dare not pull at the risk of unraveling the whole thing) throughout the piece. We'd highly recommend this as a couch that doubles only occasionally as a sleeper.
