Great little futon for my studio flat. I chose the lilac colour (it states "plum" on the label) but it is a deeper shade, more like a soft grape colour, it's lovely. Mattress is nice and thick and puffy which makes for a very comfy chair. Haven't used it to sleep on yet. Self-assembly is very straightforward, took an experienced person (not myself) only 10 minutes. Highly recommend :-)
