This futon is great!  It’s super easy to put together (15 minutes) and easy to follow instructions (zippered in the back).  I got the charcoal, and it is such a nice color.  I was very pleased with how easy it was to put into a bed, and back again.  It is short, but that works perfectly for what we needed with the slanted ceiling we had to deal with.  It is also on the firm side, but quite comfortable.  This is definitely a step above the average futon in looks, comfort, and use.  I’m so happy I got it!
