The construction and assembled feel are solid. It’s not going to survive teenagers using it as a trampoline but for normal use it will endure. The fabric seems durable. Check the dimensions. The people in the video must be 5’4”. The finished item is only 7 feet x 7 feet. This sofa is perfect for a small space like mine. The seat pad is 17 12 inches off the floor. My other sofa is more than 19”. If you have long legs this might be an issue not my problem.
You can build this as a left ( |__ ) or right ( __| ). The design is truly clever. Assemble it on a carpet or use some of the cardboard as protection for a wood or vinyl floor. There’s one step where you can scratch the floor if you aren’t careful.
Clear instructions. One person can build this alone except for getting the delivery boxes inside in the first place the and last two pages of assembly where the sections fit together. There are 80 pieces, not including hardware. Plan on two or three hours. I suggest having a cordless drill handy but you don’t absolutely need it. (I drilled pilot holes for the few self tapping screws, but you can omit those entirely if you’re not in the mood.) A regular Phillips 2 (medium) screwdriver is also helpful, but a suitable tool is part of the kit. There’s one mystery, attaching the pull out loops. See my photo or enjoy figuring it out for yourself.
The sofa arrives in two huge, heavy (70 lb.) boxes delivered form warehouses in different states. Almost certainly these will show up on different days. I tipped the delivery driver 20 and he wasn’t as annoyed anymore.
The pads are very firm. I prefer this and find it comfortable, but if you like a soft, mushy bed you won’t like these. The dog approves. I haven’t tried the bed. You’ll need flat sheets as the bed is not a standard size. You don’t want the guests to be too comfortable anyway or they’ll never leave.
The cushions are flattened and vacuum packed inside the back pieces. (Video). There are zippers in the fabric to access them. This means you’re looking at zippers on the back of the sofa forever. I don’t really care but nobody will mistake this for elegant furniture. The feet are plastic. They don’t look bad, not that anyone looks at sofa feet anyhow, but that seemed unnecessarily cheap.
