This is one sturdy sofa! I love that it converts to a bed, too - perfect for movie nights, or an extra guest. It is pretty easy to move things back and forth, and the sofa feels sturdy before, during, and after converting between positions. Based on how solid the build is, as well as the resiliency of the cushions and upholstery, I have no worries about quality control, and trust that it will hold up over time. SO happy with this sofa!
