We purchased this sofa, so we would have a sleeping space for our 5 year old granddaughter, that would also double as a seating area in our home office. It works fine as a bed for her, but leaves a lot to be desired as a sitting space.  Most importantly, the FIRST time we attempted to use the armrest, it came off in our hands!  We reattached it and decided to just leave it up and cover the couch with a blanket, so that didn't happen again.  Also, there is very little padding in the wrap-around area of the seat. As such, if you try to sit at an angle, the edge of the seat is quite uncomfortable on the back or side of the leg.
