This was an easy sofa to assemble.  It has the jack-knife feature to lay the back completely flat, which is nice for extra sleep space.  The lounger part has a large storage  compartment.  Overall, it is a bit “solid” when sitting down.  Not really plush and comfy, but for our needs it is fine.  It looks very nice.  If you want something to sink into, this isn’t the sofa you’re looking for.  It is a solid, firm sofa that looks very nice and is very functional with a good storage compartment.
