Correct - though I think it's reasonably obvious, as the lever is facing you when the footstool is fastened in its initial position.

What took me longer to discover is that when the seat is not being used as a bed, the entire footstool (not just the top) can swing bodily through a 90 degree arc, to bring it closer to the seat. If you didn't suss that one out (and it took me several trips to do so! ), you'll see what I mean by looking at how the footstool is attached to the floor in gba's pic. The entire fitting will pivot round the bolt.

Great report - looks like an excellent service!
