This was the perfect little futon for my small guest room. Compfortable as any futon and looks great when its closed as a seater. Added bonus is the space in the back to store my pillows and bed sheets when its not being used. I still had room in my space for a compfortable chair and footstool and small bedside table. I love my little room, and even tried out the bed before my company came to be sure it was good. With the adjustable arm rest it makes a great reading space.
