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)
