This was the perfect futon for my living room. I have a small space and needed something that looked mature, simple and clean, and not only provided seating but could also serve as a sleeping option. The storage drawers sit directly on the ground, so if you have carpet this may be an issue, I have hard floors, so no issue. It is comfortable enough to both sit and sleep on. Very easy to assemble and to layout, but usually requires two people to easily raise back up.
