I am so happy I waited for this sofa to come off back order. It is a fantastic look and a fraction of the cost of similar sofas I looked at. I love that it's a futon, too. Another aspect that may not be as visible in the photos is that it's as high as a normal couch, where as many futons are lower to the ground and I don't like how they sit with the other living furniture. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase.
