I think if I was expecting more of a futon then I’d be happier with this piece. It is great for what it is but I wanted something more of a true sofa with an enclosed back that could be open to the room. This one has more of an open look as it opens flat like a futon. The cushions didn’t expand as expected either but I will dress it up with a bunch of throw pillows and it will be fine now.  e for. While.
