Believe me, there is seating space there, but underneath the sitting area there are large wooden supports running through it. So when you lie down, there is a gap and these soft wooden pieces underneath make it extremely uncomfortable. Honestly, they designed it terribly. I genuinely feel like the person who designed this couch never even sat on it once.

This couch is exactly as pictured! It could be more comfortable but I think that will happen over time with breaking it in.

This is an absolutely great sectional. It was so easy to assemble. The instructions were easy to follow and I did it alone and took less than an hour. The material is nice and appears it will be very durable. The color is a soft gray and really opens my room. The cushions are a bit on the firm side but it is still quite comfortable and does not sink in the moment you sit down. I love the extra pillows also.

The sofa arrived in 3 big boxes, and I had to drag them in the house. But once inside, I unpacked each box and followed the simple instructions. The only issue I ran into which prevented me from giving it a 5 star, is the right-side arm of the couch was hard to get in place. The left side slid on easily, but the right side did not. I ended up having to call my son to help me get it on, which after a few tries, he was able to get the connectors lined up and the right-side arm slid in place. It's comfortable and a great sectional for the price.

Huge sofa and very comfortable! Assembly is a breeze! The chaise is actually reversible without any hassle which is nice. The size was a challenge for my room, but it is exactly as described. The fabric seems durable and easy to clean. I added some extra throw pillows because it is so large.
