Needing an extra bed to double as a couch and bed, this futon certainly foots the bill for my family and me.  Easily assembled with explicit directions, it is comfortable, stylish, and quite nice; plus it looks much like real leather.  I ordered the black which goes w/anything and plan to get a lot of use from this.  Happened to purchase while on sale which made it a bargain.  Know that it does sit low to the floor, but it is still extremely functional.  I put a mattress pad on it for sleeping guest(s), but it is plenty comfortable w/o the pad; no rod down the middle to dig in when let out for sleeping; this is an important feature for us.  Shipped even earlier than expected and in super shape.
