The click klyak sofa has all the necessary functions, which can be used as an armchair, a bed, and also for storing bedding.

You can fix the slats in another way. In this case, to fix the lamellas, they use not rivets, but a bolt with a nut. Repairing the transformation mechanism will not require much time. If you have experience performing the work, the process will be completed in a few hours.
