This convertible is not your regular futon...it was arms! It is comfortable, sturdy and looks modern  It's a a nice piece to add to your collection! Took about 30 minutes to assembly with 2 people because it is large piece to assemble alone. Delayed shipping due to clerical error so it took an extra 10 days to arrive, but worth the wait. Customer Service was very helpful to correct & gave me a 15% discount for delay. Overall I am very pleased.
