I was kind of nervous about buying a futon period because I have heard horror stories of the craftsmanship and comfort of them.  When I saw the craftsmanship of this particular futon I was actually impressed.  It was well put together.  I also love the fact that it has a 600 lb. weight capacity since many futons are rather fragile.  Not that I weigh that but to know that almost anyone can sit in it without worry is comforting.  The only thing I think people should know about it is the material does attract things like pet hair easily but that is because of the plush fabric which to me is worth it because I like things very soft so me personally I would not change it.  But I do think it is good to know.  Great product.  I do recommend having a warranty on it but again that is just my comfort zone speaking.
