Hide a Bed ( the dreaded sofa bed ) Just for you.... when those outlaws show up unexpectedly; when you need that time out in the man cave; lady's nook for her welding shop when she be contemplating how high to crank the voltage to cut or bond... as a couch the piece is comfy. Yep that bar in the middle is there..... and you will most likely need to add a foam pad thing a ma bob...however in great condition and needs a new home. If you are the lucky person you will indeed have to trek here and load the couch. Email David
