Which is better for a large family?

The 149'' Oversized Sectional. It seats up to 7 and rates 700 lb per seat, while the Dowiean lists a 306 lb total max.

Which is better for a small apartment?

The Dowiean. At 108 inches wide it fits rooms where the 149-inch sectional will not, and it converts to a sleeper for guests.

Is the Dowiean worth the savings?

If you do not need high weight capacity, yes. It costs $467.99 versus $861.99, a savings of about $394, and adds modular layouts.

Hard to say from specs. The sectional states a solid wood frame and high-density foam; the Dowiean claims a solid wood frame and foam with strong rebound. Neither lists a warranty term.

Does either come assembled?

No. The sectional requires assembly. The Dowiean needs simple assembly that one person can do without complicated tools.

Can the Dowiean be used as a bed?

Yes. Its modular pieces rearrange into a sleeper sofa bed, a U-shaped couch or an L-shaped sectional.
