I was looking for some Futon couch, so that it could be converted to bed when needed. After carefully consideration i bought this futon for few reasons that outshines it over others. The Futon looks stylish leather and matches my apartment profile. The assembling was as straightforward from manual. Although I recommend using a impact drill for ease. The many different settings for sitting lying or sleeping is as described and we didn't have any issues with it.The most important feature is the the futon is very light in weight. That makes it convenient for transfer or relocating.One thing that could have been even better was the padding. For well built person the padding does feel different.I love it so much.
