My wife and I love the Futon.  Received it today, took less than a week to get here.  About 2 hours to assemble, but as other reviews stated, the instructions were were less than ideal.  For the price of the product, they could have been better.  But a little common sense will go along way when putting it together.  Really comfortable to sit on, haven't  had a chance to sleep on it, but we don't foresee a problem there.  The mattress color said that it was red, but again, from reading other reviews, we knew that it would be more to the maroon side of red, which was fine with us.  Overall, we would give the futon 5 stars, but because of the couple of little things mentioned, we will give it 4 stars due to the fact that some folks might be a little surprised at what they receive if they don't do a little research before hand.
