I waited 2 years to find the perfect sofa, and I hit the jackpot! I am using this beauty in my living room. The delicate pink color is beautiful, looking like a cream color in a dark setting. All parts arrived and I put it together myself with the exception of attaching the sides to the back. It took several hours, but I did plenty of resting in between. It is very sturdy and the 8" mattress (purchased from Wayfair) fits with no problem. The slats are easy to put together and make no sqeaking sounds. I slept on it last night and it was great for that too! I would recommend this, not just for bedrooms. but as a sofa as well. HIGHLY recommend.
