This futon is good quality for the price; solid frame, comfortable pad, all the fittings/bolts were high quality (not crappy or missing parts, etc.), and the color/finish is natural enough to blend well with various room decors.  I needed to have a decent futon for a guest room so the pad had to be comfortable enough to sleep on.  The pad is built so one side always stays facing down (no flipping) but has more of a mattress spring feel than a lumpy cushion pad.  I found it to be incredibly comfortable, and the suede-like material cleans well.  A heads up to anyone matching the wood frame color to other furniture: the photo doesn't show it well but the wood is considered a "repurposed" espresso finish, giving it a matte, no-gloss look that's more dark brown than the standard espresso finish.  Still very attractive, just may not match other glossier pieces of furniture.
