I was amazed at how quickly I put the futon together by myself (with some help from a 2-yr-old). It is great for extra seating and an extra bed for a guest. To move it from couch to bed you only need to fold the back forward a little bit and the catch easily releases. It's also very easy to pull the back up to get back into seated position. If you have the futon a few inches from the wall (and you can see from the pictures that it's not unnaturally far), then you don't need to reposition it at all when you recline it. The fabric, legs, and cushioning are high quality and I found it comfortable for both sitting and sleeping.
Sleek and classy, comfortable as couch and bed
