I am an ultra picky shopper who prefers buying furniture online but in-store futons don't seem to exist in my area. Knowing what I was looking for, I read hundreds of reviews on 7 or 8 different futons before deciding on this one and WOW!! I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase! I've owned it for over a week now and slept on it twice. The mattress is very comfortable and I love the faux leather look. Frame itself is solid wood and I can easily move among the 3 different position settings (bed/lounge/sitting). Assembly is straightforward but will take some time to complete. I'm 6'2 and happy to have found a futon that's stylish, comfortable, and that fits me!!
