I have been looking for a few months to replace my full size futon which I had for a few years.  I needed something that would be as functional and take up less space in my second bedroom/den.  this is perfect.  this futon is sturdy and simple to open and close and the faux leather makes it a breeze to clean.  just wipe it down.  no heavy mattress to cover and turn.  the assembly required is screwing on the legs. that's it!  and the price was so reasonable.  So glad I made this purchase!!
