I would watch TV in the family room on the couch and by the time my 2 small dogs piled on, it was cramped.  We got rid of the couch and put in the double size day bed.  Now we have room to sprawl!  It was easy to assemble and is sturdy.

Pros: Love it
Cons: It has the appearance of a double bed so I would not want it in my living room but it works great for the family room.
