We went to replace a rocking chair in one of our boys rooms and we got this futon for it.  We got another futon for our other boys room, but felt that the brown leather like appearance would fit better with our other boy's room.  It feels like a good build and is comfortable to sit on.  It's great for a sleepover or for a bedroom.  The cover material had a few lightly damaged spots, so I feel that with a different material like the velvet, is better for this brand of sofa, so I'm giving this one 4 stars for the cover material damage.
