I ordered this sofa from Hayneedle (another website), because they had a sale over Labor Day weekend, so it was a little cheaper. I paid 539 bucks. Their delivery estimate was accurate. Shipping was free. The item was delivered by Home Direct (they brought it into my home). The packaging was in good shape. The size of the box was about 12 inches deep by 82 inches long and 50 inches tall; the sofa is shipped in "bed" mode, so it is flat in the box. Aside from plastic wrap and some very thin styrofoam wrap, there is no other padding inside the box to protect the sofa. There were about 6 small holes (each about the size of an inch) in the box, and one hole about 3 inches wide. I used my flashlight to peer into the holes to make sure there was no damage to the sofa (before signing for and accepting delivery)...everything looked fine.
The box was easy to open, and it was easy to cut-up; the cut-up pieces fit easily in my 48 gallon recycle garbage can.
The delivery receipt said it weighed 152 pounds.
The legs/hardware were included in a box that was zipped inside a small compartment underneath the sofa. The 4 legs were easy to install (4 bolts per leg); a small bolt wrench and an allen wrench were included (although I found it easier to use a small adjustable wrench that I had, plus the allen wrench). The sofa sits firmly on the floor (no wobbling).
The welding on the legs was a bit disappointing. There are about 6 welds around each leg; the welds hold the tubular leg to a rectangular metal plate; the 4 bolt holes are in the metal plate. It might be okay (everything is fine for now), but it would have been better if they had welded the tubular leg to the metal plate...all the way around. If a leg ever does break at the weld, then I'm confident that I can remove the bolts and take the 2 parts to a local shop to have them properly welded together.
The bottom part of the legs swivel a little (not sure why; I don't recommend playing with it). The bottom of the leg has a hard plastic pad. Since my sofa is sitting on a hardwood floor, I attached felt pads to the hard plastic pad.
The sofa is comfortable. And when it is reclined flat (like a bed), there is NO bar down the middle. It is just as comfortable as a bed as it is a sofa.
From the picture, you can see that the sofa is black. But you can't see the stitching; it's white. The stitching looks fine. I think the sofa looks very handsome and classy.
The length of the sofa is about 79.5 inches.
The seat depth is about 22.75 inches. I measured that from where my butt hits the back of the sofa to where my legs hang over the sofa.
The sofa seat sits about 20 inches from the floor (measured from the floor to the top part of the seat cushion).
When the sofa is laid flat (like a bed), it is about 47 inches wide.
When I push the sofa against the wall, there is about 1 inch gap between the wall and the top part of the sofa. The sofa sits on a metal tubular frame; the tubes are about 1.5 inches in diameter. That 1 inch gap that I mentioned earlier is due to the frame. It's almost not worth mentioning. However, I mention it because some other sofas like this sometimes have larger frames that really stick out in the back (but this sofa is not like that).
You can see from the picture that there appears to be 2 cushions on this sofa. They are connected. The bottom cushion is about 6.5 inches tall and it is firm. The cushion that sits on top of it is about 4 inches tall and it is not firm. This is not the kind of sofa that you sink into, but it is comfortable (and that 4 inch layer is what makes it comfortable). I would describe that 4 inch layer as a cross between soft and firm. I think it's just right.
The sofa sits about 8 inches from the floor (measured from the floor to the bottom of the metal frame).
The sofa is screwed into the frame (except for the back and armrests, which move up and down).
The back of the sofa has 3 positions (sofa, lounger, bed); the back is split in two, and each side reclines independently of the other. The armrests also have 3 positions (down, slightly raised, and armrest mode). Listen to the clicks to know when these parts reach the various positions. To fully recline a part, raise it all the way up and then lower it. It works well. For the most part, I plan to use it as a sofa with the armrests down. I may raise one of the armrests occasionally to use it as a headrest while laying down on the sofa.
I'm 5'9" and weigh 165 pounds. When sitting on the sofa, 4 of me can fit on it with the armrests down (but there is no room to spare).
I uploaded some photos of the sofa and the literature that came with it.
The sofa is made in China. The USA company is Lifestyle Solutions of Fremont, California. The product code is BB-MDM-FA-BK. It comes with a one year warranty.
The literature says the sofa is part of Lifestyle Solutions' SEBU collection, but I don't see that collection on their website. The closest is the BOCA sofa in the Casual Convertible collection (but that sofa is a little different than the one I purchased).
This sofa comes in black or dark brown; dark brown is available from Wayfair, iFurn, Costco (website), and Wholesale Furniture Brokers.

I am pleased with my purchase. It seems sturdy, and it looks/feels like it will last a long time.
