I want to start by saying this futon is really gorgeous. It looks great and more expensive then it is. The problem is the lack of comfort. I had read in reviews that it was firm, and I dont mind a firm sofa. This item is more like a piece of with velvet wrapped around it.
I was worried about my kids spilling on it when I first got it, but I didnt need to be. It is so uncomfortable that nobody wants to sit on it. If you attempt to sear three people, well my condolences to the poor soul who is stuck in the middle spot. If you try to just plop down in that middle spot, it truly hurts, you feel nothing but board.
Same thing happens when you try to sleep on it. I fold up several comforters and blankets to lay on in attempt to not feel that board in the middle. Also the back does go down for sleeping, which was a major selling point for me. However if you go over to that side the thing tips over! It is not made with a strong enough base to stay steady and level.
All in all this is a super cute futon and I guess maybe ok for a dorm or an office. Personally, I think it is best suited for a place where it is there mostly just for looks. I would be a bit embarrassed to have people sit on it in an office, that is how uncomfortable it is.
Beautiful but ridiculously uncomfortable
