Took a risk on this as the reviews were mixed. Overall Im very happy. The chair is pretty and seems solid (granted I havent been jumping on it and my guests who have used it weighed 225 pounds or less). Have had it for a few months now and so far so good.
Assembly was straight forward. I have seen some comments about needing to drill holes due to misalignment of parts and Im wondering if they simply were installing certain parts backward. Not sure. But mine at least went together easily enough.
As far as quality of materials / it seems ok. Im 6 foot, 300 pounds and I have avoided really using it for myself based on reviews about it not being very sturdy (it is more for guests who are spending the night etc.) but it does hold my weight while sitting on it in the regular chair position (I havent lied on it as a bed myself, although people that are in the 225 pound range have and they havent had any issues, said it was reasonably comfortable, etc.)
Overall, I think for a room where you dont want a dedicated bed but need something in case people come over it is a very good value. Even for someone skinny / small who needs a convertible sleeper (Im thinking a college student living in a studio apt. etc.) it could work daily use.
