Ill say up front that I didnt necessarily buy this for its futon ability. Im sure at some point someone will spend the night at my place and sleep on it, but I didnt buy it expressly for that purpose. Honestly Im quite glad I didnt, because I dont find this futon to be very comfortable at all. If youre sitting down to watch a movie youre going to be shifting around a lot. I would absolutely and wholly recommend it to anyone who is buying it for an unconventional reason, that is to say, not your main sofa in your living room. Office, yes, camper, yes, etc etc.
I was able to put it together alone and very quickly. I didnt really time myself, but I would say less than hour.
My favorite thing about this futon is just how attractive it is. The lines are very mid-century and the color (I got the light blue) is so delightful. It makes me happy every time I look at it. Its just a fun piece of furniture to look at. The quality of the parts is exactly what I expected. Real furniture is REALLY expensive. A very well-made sofa with high quality fabric is going to be many times more expensive than this. I personally feel really happy with the value.
Im only rating it four stars and not five because I do find it just awfully uncomfortable, but as I mentioned, if this isnt your main seating area, I think youre going to be very pleased with it overall.
Aesthetically Pleasing
