This couch is so pretty! The assembly was fairly simple, I did it by myself. The backs do lay down to turn it into a bed which is great. It’s not the most comfortable thing in the world but it’s definitely not the worst I’ve slept on. The only issue I had was that when I tried to put one of the legs on the couch, the screws just fell right out of it. They were stripped. I just had to drill new holes and I was golden. I recommend this couch, just have some extra tools and screws on hand for assembly
