I was pleasantly surprised by how nice this futon looks. It is spacious to sit on but doesn't take up a lot of space. Assembly was easy, and changing positions takes hardly any time at all. You can feel the bar in the middle when you sleep on it, but it's a lot more comfortable than others I've owned. I can sit on it all day and do my computer work in complete comfort. It looks a lot more expensive than it actually was. I get a lot of compliments.
