I needed a crash pad for my art studio. I also needed chic seating for clients. Presto. This Futon. Its my first futon. Im used to having proper furniture, but this is beautiful. Perfect neutral shade. Not big!!! Hooray! And when it folds down flat it reminds me of a wide art gallery bench or upscale party seating. Its exactly what i wanted and i can nap on it with a down featherbed -its firm. But chic, snappy and young looking. Love
