This couch is exactly as promised. I think its important to be realistic - this is an upgrade option to a standard futon, not to be compared to an expensive daily use couch from a furniture store. I purchased the grey linen futon as well as the chaise chair addition. For the price of this futon, Im honestly floored by the quality. Its sturdy, firm (which is good because often futons will start to sag with use), and the fabric looks much more expensive than it is. It looks great - looks very close to what you see in the pictures for purchase. We are using it in a home office bedroom as seating and an extra place for guests to sleep. I did not have the negative experiences others mentioned - the construction is inexpensive but sturdy, all parts attached securely, the back pieces lined up, and the fabric was completely undamaged. Again, Im not expecting this futon that I got for less than $200 to handle daily use as a family or living room couch; Im just expecting it to be used lightly as extra seating in our home office extra bedroom.
REALLY great value, looks great
