Wife bought the above couches, without doing any real measurements. She was surprised (so was I!) when they were delivered, and it turn out the seating area is "loveseat" size. The whole point was to maximize seating in this room.

Very impressed with the couch tranformation as well.

Excellent "expanding couch"!!!

amazing how $50 of materials and a day on your knees can make a difference.
