We ordered this futon in black and love the rich color. No scratches or chips on the wood. The mattress it comfortable to sit on. As of today we haven't slept on it yet. We bought it for my convalescing after surgery and to have to have extra large bed for guests. 

Pros: Good value. Looks great in our media room.
Cons: A little difficult to put together but not impossible. Somewhat like Ikea assembly. We did think it had an adjustment for the sitting position but it seems to just rest against the wall.
