Couch is awesome but came with a manufacturer defect. I knew this was a possibility based off the other reviews so I purchased the insurance for an extra $20-25 and it was worth it. The defect was that the seam was not sewn correctly on the one side causing the strings, where the couch folds, to loosen and is about to fall apart. Other than that, it inflated fully within hours and my son loves it but definitely has to be more gentle where it’s falling apart. It seems from most reviews to be hit or miss but I took a chance and I would recommend buying it but also with the protection plan, just in case.
