The reviews were right in that this is a fairly small, fairly hard futon. But I needed something inexpensive that looked nice for the rare moments when we have visitors. It's slightly smaller than a full size bed (width wise) and pretty short. I'm 5'2 and can lay with my knees slightly tucked, but my 6'0 husband's feet hang off. Again, it's great for what we need and we had a coupon so the price was even less, but certainly not top-notch.
