So we were getting rid of an older chair for our boys room, and so we decided to get a sofa instead as he likes to have the room to play on and also something that friends could come over and he can have a sleepover on.  Let me tell you, this sofa  is a good futon sofa.  It serves its purpose well, and feels like a good quality build.  The velvet feel is great and my boy already asked to sleep on it!  I think this will serve him for years to come.  5 stars!
