Although this futon/sofa is very pretty it arrived in a box that was torn and left in the rain. The back of the futon has an imperfection in the fabric that is about 8 inches long. Probably due to the torn box. I had family coming into town so I needed the futon for a guest. It was difficult to put together for one person because of the weight but I managed. With a 6 inch foam padding it is okay for sleeping if you like a firm mattress. I am still considering returning it before the 30 days is up.  This could have been a much more satisfactory purchase.
