This is an amazing futon!  It looks great and expensive.  More important is that it is very solid and sturdy.  I purchased this for my son's bedroom entertainment area.  I know it will be used by friends playing on game stations and anyone spending the night.  He is over 6 ft. 5 in. and needs something that will hold up over time.  This is the answer for stability and great looks!  I am so happy I found this futon.
