I want to interject. I bought an AU sleeper in 2010 from Macys. Within months the plastic inserts that the bed glided on to open up were cracking. I called macy's and they sent a guy....he said they WERE defective. When I called Macy's for a follow up they said they would not honor a warranty. I then contacted AU and they sent someone out and they did replace these plastic inserts which soon cracked AGAIN! I have noticed while furniture shopping now that AU has changed their design to metal springs instead of these plastic inserts. But I have to say, the stitching on my sofa started to come undone by 2012. I ended up throwing the sofa out and getting a new one. But I will tell you this...while dismantling the sofa for the garbage i noticed that the frame WAS made of plywood NOT hardwood like they claim. I would never buy an AU piece, again!

I can't testify to their sleeper, but will say that our AL items had finish problems from the start. The seats and backs also looked worn and broken down long before our other leather furniture began to show signs of age. We gave ours away and replaced them with H&M. I wouldn't buy a sleeper sofa again, but would choose the most comfortable sofa and then use a raised air bed (good quality, standard bed height style) for infrequent guests if I couldn't have a real bed in a dedicated guest room.

Hi Marcia H- We love it! Quality so far is good, seems like it's well made. We haven't had it for very long (since it's custom it took a few months to arrive). I can't speak to how it looks from the back because ours is against a wall. The customer service on Facebook is very helpful. They might be able to find a photo from the back if you can't get to a showroom to see one.
