This couch is perfect for my living space. I live in a 475 square foot studio. I have 2 twin beds pushed together for my child and I. I needed a small couch/futon for guests to sleepover. I wanted something pretty and functional. I am 5’4” and my body fits perfectly sleeping on this couch. If you are taller than 5’5” I’d say this couch is too small for you to sleep on. So it’s definitely perfect for kids and short people. The velvet feels very soft. The cushion has a medium bounce and is firm which is what we like. Couch folds down easily to futon. All I had to do was screw on the legs. Super easy! The couch came wrapped in this black material bag that protected the fabric. The couch was delivered directly to my door and I live in a big apartment complex on the 3rd floor. I appreciated the delivery guy doing a good job! I ordered couch on Sunday and it arrived to my door on Friday. All together this is a great couch for my situation.
