The look and feel of this futon is really great.
Setup is a bit of a pain at times if youre assembling it solo, but the finished product is much nicer than I imagined, even while I was putting it together. This is not to say, however, that assembly is overly complicated. It was about on par with the better end of the self/assembly furniture spectrum.
As a couch, it left me a little wanting. The split back design means that the support gets iffy towards the center of the couch. At the arms, support is fine. As a bed, this futon is as good as any that Ive ever been onand Ive been on a lot, for some reason. I am 6 feet and 1.5 inches tall and weigh about 205 pounds; so, Im not a tiny person, but I feel totally comfortable and supported laying on this when it is folded down into a sleeper. There is little to no room for anyone else when Im laying on it, but it provides plenty of room for one.
Because of the fantastic looks of this futon, I think that a perfect use for it is as an office couch that can be pushed up against a wall to provide ample support for the split back, and a nice pull/out for periodic cat naps, or an extra sleeper for guests.
All in all, I think it is good looking, reasonably functional as a couch, and appropriately functional as a bed. I like it!
Looks fantastic!
