This is a great looking futon for the price. It looks nice and fits well in a small living room. Honestly, I don't love the comfort of it and plan to purchase an investment sofa soon to replace it. The futon is extremely firm, which can be uncomfortable when using as a couch, but the biggest issue is that the seat is not deep. It does the job and works well as a futon, but not as an alternative to a real sofa.
