Roxbury Sofa

The color is nice. The faux suede fabric is on the thin side. The mattress is firm... offering a decent night's sleep for guests. The storage compartment is not that deep but adequate. You'll need a strong helped to move the box. More bulky than heavy. If you have to get it up stairs, be aware that the unpacked bed/seat unit hinges... a little difficult to maneuver.

The real problem I have is how the thing goes together.

The side metal straps have to be connected first before putting on the side arms. There are three large hook brackets on the arms that have to hook onto there mates on the end of the couch. The trouble is the thickness of the foam and fabric on the couch makes it nearly impossible to get all three brackets on a given side hooked in all the way and seated to the bottom. (if there is play or shaking then you haven't gotten ALL THREE hooks locked in). There is NO help or suggestions in the instructions. In fact, there were NONE. The best way I figured out was to stand the couch on end and get on a step ladder (with someone helping to hold the couch) holding the arm unit... then having your helper flex/tilt the couch until the thick cushion is pulled away from the side of the couch... them hold up the arm unit, line up the brackets and push to clip all three brackets together. I used a rubber mallet to bang the bottom of the arm feet to lock in the brackets before laying the couch down again. I repeated for the other arm. A very annoying, tense, sweaty hour and a half before trying this method with success.

Oh... the cushion/pillows are small and not filled with enough stuffing. I'm planning on getting better throw pillows and getting a bed pillow to keep underneath for guests. The couch has to be pulled out from the wall about a foot and a half before using the click-clack mechanism (which works great) to turn it into a bed. Also, after sitting on the couch, the fabric looks loose when you get up. You have to smooth it flat again so the thing looks neat. This unit would never last with heavy use but for a sewing/craft-guest room it seems ok. Looks good... low quality.
