The futon is very well made. Cushion is plush. Olive a nice color. It's very comfortable to  sit on. Easy to put down into the bed. The only thing is the futon is a little difficult to put back in sit up position. I would guess the more you use it, the easier it will be. My husband put it together. It was a lot of little pieces. Everything had to be put together. It took him a little over 2 hrs by himself to put together.
