Great futon/couch for my apartment. I love the look of it and it’s pretty comfortable for a relatively inexpensive buy. I definitely need pillows if I want to really lean on the armrests, but the sides are actually more solid than I expected them to be (in a good way). The couch had a chemical smell out of the box, but it faded once aired out. I was able to put it together myself, which wasn’t too difficult. Very happy with this purchase so far!
