This is a small, light, and reasonably comfortable sofa for occasional to moderate use. It is better for sitting. When lying down, where the four panels meet - it is very hard in that area so I anticipate needing a pad for sleeping guests. I am 5' 7 and fill the entire length, head to toe. The way the manufacturer hides the armrests, legs and pillows inside zip-up compartments within the furniture is a neat design, however, the screws, bolts, and washers were not packaged and were therefore just bouncing around loosely within the opening and behind parts of the frame. I had to use a flashlight and scavenge for the parts one at a time, and also had to pick the panels up and shake them over and over before they were all freed up so I could retrieve. I'm hoping this was a one-off mistake but if not, please secure these parts in a small durable bag of some type. The assembly also requires the attachment of a hinge where the two bottom panels meet. They provide a phillips head driver on the opposite end of the allen wrench but good luck with that - you'll need a drill as there are no holes pre-drilled for you. It really doesn't make sense to have a hinge here, since you're actually trying to prevent something from bending. It should have been a flat metal brace or just another leg like the others. The sofa is very easy to recline in part or in full, and the arms slide on and off easily.
