This futon/couch is extremely small it lays low and the back is low. It looks like a child’s couch next to my other furniture. But… It was easy to put together. It opens up to a bed and you can recline in it. Putting it together is difficult because they don’t give you anything but that L-shaped square tipped tool, which doesn’t work on the legs very well. If they had just put regular screws in there, it would’ve been a breeze. All in all, I have a place for my guest to sleep and another couch/futon.
