Comfortable, sturdy piece of furniture. I must have spent 100 hours looking at couches/futons/loveseats, and I am so happy with this purchase. The directions were not hard to follow, but 2 people are necessary to complete the assembly. I knocked the review down to 4 stars because I am rather frustrated about the misrepresentation of the color. I purchased the butternut frame, but the color is far closer to the "natural" wood frame. The picture needs to be updated on the website. I still love it regardless, but it is not accurate by any means.
