Very sturdy and really hard.  I've already ordered a mattress topper for it because I need it for an "occasional guest bed."  It did arrive in good condition and putting it together was about 20 minutes.  Parts were all there and we used a power screwdriver.  The cover seems sturdy, but loft on the tufting is meager.  Not comfortable over a long period of time, no lounger.    It does have a short seat bed that allows my feet to touch the floor and firmness of the seat allows me to rise without a lot of effort. (I'm 5'2").  The cup holder is shallow, and the pillows are really firm, but the folding mechanism works smoothly.   Will fill the bill for the limited use it will see.
