Angles were awkward in some places during assembly. Good for small spaces, but longer than most futons (a selling feature for me since Im 6 feet tall and its a perfect length for me). Sadly, it is not comfortable. They packed the arms inside a hidden compartment in the front cushions to reduce the size of the box, but it left this empty chasm in the bottom of the front cushions that they tried to offset with what seems like a spring-back material. As a couch, this causes a bow that pushes you forward. As a bed, the bow forces you to pick a side. Also when in bed position, there is a very hard wooden seam in the center. Side sleeping or switching sides causes this seam to jab you in the hip. Back sleeping requires that you strategically position your butt bone to avoid the seam. Ive tried with two mattress toppers and still found it uncomfortable. This is all a super bummer because it is a beautiful couch and I had very high hopes. I even thought the packaging of the box was brilliant until I saw what it did to the comfort.
Beautiful but uncomfortable
