Me and my husband spent days canvassing all the local furniture stores trying to find the right futon to complete his new man cave with no luck. I was really anxious to purchase one online as sometimes you never know what you will get. I was surprised to find that the quality of this futon surpassed all of the ones from the big furniture stores and it came in  a black full wooden frame. It took awhile to put together but the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The mattress while firm is very comfortable  and supportive.  It will provide a good place for guest to sleep and looks amazing.
