I'm glad I forgot to review this, as I would have given it 4 stars originally. After some time this futon becomes uncomfortable to sit on as the mattress is quite thin, you can clearly see a dip in the mattress from the spot I always sit in, so this is not the best product for long-term use. 
Today, just 2 months later, the bars on the side I sit at most snapped off and broke, making that side of the couch essentially unusable now. I would say avoid this one if you plan to use it regularly.
