I received it 10 days later than stated when ordered.  It is ok, smaller than I thought.  It is an interesting piece of furniture for relaxing in front of the TV and with the dogs.  Fabric is very slippy slidy, unlike the faux leather couch I have that is more rough and comfortable.  Also to note, that in the folded seat position it slides open.  I will have to try putting anti-slip material under it for when we sit on it this way.  I also think the parts where the foam is solid, where one would sit, is good quality--firm, which is excellent.  In so far as the mechanism that moves it up and down, it seems well done, but only time will tell if it was made to last only 1-year or more or less.  Planned obsolescence hopefully isn't the issue here.
