How could I fix my datastore code so that it loads the items?

hey, does anyone know why my script isnt working? this is from an alvinblox tutorial and is supposed to save and load a couch that you buy, but it doesnt even load the value. thanks!

local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DS = DSS:GetDataStore("DS")
local val = game.StarterGui.ComputerGui.ScrollingFrame.Couch:WaitForChild("Bought").Value

--load
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local data
    local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
        data = DS:GetAsync(player.UserId.."CouchBought")
    end)

    if success then
        print("Player data successfully loaded!")
        print(DS:GetAsync(player.UserId.."CouchBought"))
        val = data
    else
        print("There was an error while loading data.")
        warn(errormessage)
    end
end)

--save
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
        DS:SetAsync(player.UserId.."CouchBought",val)
    end)
    if success then
        print("Player data successfully saved!")
    else
        print("There was an error while saving data.")
        warn(errormessage)
    end
end)

--load models
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    wait(0.1)
    if game.StarterGui.ComputerGui.ScrollingFrame.Couch.Bought.Value == true then
        local item = game.ReplicatedStorage.Purchasables.Couch:Clone()
        item.Parent = workspace
    end
end)
