It was at about this point that I realised something… This was clearly not the sofa I had ordered.
It was the arms (which, to compound matter, didn’t work), that really nailed the realisation. The sofa pictured on the Amazon listing could be totally flattened: both back and sides fold down.
Whereas, with the sofa we received the back didn’t adjust at all – the two panels were just solid – and the arm mechanisms are very clearly totally different!
After much wrangling – during which the manufacturer, Yaheetech, maintained that it was the correct sofa-bed; whilst their middleman supplier, Monumart, agreed it wasn’t – a resolution was eventually reached.
But the biggest annoyance of all this is the waste of time and energy. And we still don’t have a replacement for the ‘old and busted’ sofabed.
Bummer!
On a happier note, my restored footstool looks ace. And is now doing sterling service.
