This furniture is an absolute mess I do not recommend this futon it is cheaply made and the picture is a misconception this one is brand new and I already feel the board in the middle of it when it is let out in bed mode I am not a heavy woman and for me to be able to feel every uncomfortable detail in the furniture makes me wonder how a heavier-set persons Comfort would be please spend your $350 elsewhere I advise you to think twice, three , and or four times before getting this if comfort and stability is what your looking for THIS IS NOT IT
