It was a bit stiff to start with, but it's a very versatile couch! The storage is fantastic and it fits well in the space. We're both 6ft tall, and I will say it feels just ever so small for big people when sitting on it, but it is comfortable when you lay across it as a bed. It takes a bit of time to wear it in, and you'll want taller, bigger pillows if you want to lean back comfortably. Overall, great for the price, excellent delivery, package, and super easy assembly.
