Undoubtedly, each design has bothadvantages, and some disadvantages. For example, to decompose a "book" sofa for the night, additional space is required between the wall and furniture. And this is not always convenient, and looks not very attractive.
Characteristics of different models
The model "eurobook" is free from this shortcoming:it can be installed close to the wall, since there is no need to move furniture each time to unfold. The disadvantage of this model can be considered quite a rigid back of the sofa (the soft part is in the inside of the case), as well as the unstable position of the front legs on the floor covering, which because of this can be scratched.

Similar to the method of unfolding, the models are equipped withwheels: this, of course, makes it easy to prepare a sofa for sleep, but eventually rollers always leave traces on the floor.

In addition, such mechanisms eventually acquire the property of expanding independently, which also causes some inconvenience to the owners.
