For the money this couch does what I need it to. It looks great with bright pillows, has firm seating and is easy to turn into a flat bed. We currently have it in the front room and its getting lots of use by kids and dogs. I do see the fabric pulling a bit at the seams, so time will tell. My 10 year old often puts it in bed form when watching movies (I like that there are extra leg supports under the top half of the couch when reclining it.) I actually bought this to go into my office to be used as a bed for guests when they come. The mid-century look is great and the couch isn't so big as it takes up the whole room. The arms are narrow and could use more padding, but useful. The center support under the couch is not the same as the ends and I notice it, but no one else does likely. Overal pleased.
