Even after 2 kids, 2 cats, a dog and a boyfriend this futon has lasted for nearly 3 years. It is sturdy enough to take all of the flopping, mysterious spills and jumping from all of them. I was even able to steam clean it without a problem. We got it because we were tight on space but when we upgrade to adult living room furniture this will be going in my oldests room and will take the real test of a teenage boy.
