It’s a beautiful sofa - very soft and really warms up a room. Fold out is on a click function. It’s super easy. My only complaint is that the seating is a tad stiff. It’s not the place I’ll be cozying up with a good book, let’s say that. But we intended this to be a guest bed, and we bought a topper for it to make it more cozy. Works perfectly for our needs.
