All photos and diagrams fail to point out that this Sofa will NOT sit against a wall while being used as a sofa.  The back legs and support board protrude 7 inches so that when not used as a futon sleeper there is a required gap between the back of the sofa and the wall. A small child could fall behind the couch and never get out.  I liked the sofa but had to cut off the protrusion in the back so it would sit flush with the wall and not leave a useless and unsightly gap.  Look CLOSELY at the photo and if you try to walk directly behind this piece of furniture you will trip over the protrusion.  It's a stupid and concealed design defect.  Would not recommend it.
