So for $230 on almost any other similar product youll get a frame or a mattress. This gives you both and it is really comfortable. I take naps on this all the time. As a fairly lean person (150lbs, 59) I can fit 2-3 others on this couch if I wanted to be squished. If you have 1-2 others on the couch its perfect except for the person on the center stability bar. Armrests rock.
The futon itself comes with a few tools needed to build it, but theyre fairly low grade so youd be better off with using personal tools. One of my complaints about the futon is that the center legs are plastic but theyre hidden well enough to look similar to the wooden counterparts on the corners.
Overall its a good buy for the cost. Ill try to update in 6-12 months on its performance then.
Great futon for the price, I ordered this futon because I liked the modern look to it. I ordered it in black and I plan on using it as an everyday futon for the smaller space in the living room. It arrived a day later than originally scheduled which was a little annoying but overall not a huge problem. The set up was fairly straightforward it took me about 35 minutes to get it set up and ready for use. As many have pointed out the two middle legs are plastic and not the wood finish of the outside four; but you cant even see the two legs in the middle. Ill update in a few months to show how it holds up.
This futon is exactly what we needed. It looks great in our guest bedroom/office. We didnt want to put a bed in there since its mainly used as an office, so this was the perfect middle ground. Its not too big and would fit nicely into a smaller space. It is a little bit stiff and wont be the most comfortable thing to sleep on, but for guests that only stay a night or two its perfect. It doesnt look as cheap as I expected it to, the fabric seems pretty durable. Its so easy to assemble and even easier to convert it into a bed from the couch position! I would buy this if youre not going to use it as a bed very often, but as a couch its perfectly fine (but still a bit hard).
Look out for price dropswe got this for $172 and three days later it was at $300.
It works for what the price is. Looks good. Not very comfortable to sit on longer than an hour or so. I think its comfortable as a futon laying down. Cheapest thing you will find with the expected comfortably that looks nice and can be shipped right to your door
If I could, I would give 4.5 stars, but I didnt want to give it just 4, so I gave 5. I paid $199.00 with free prime shipping so my review is based on that price point. If I paid the $270 + tax that it is currently priced at, I would have been disappointed.
I wanted an Karlstad which are priced competitively at $399. Problem is, I live in a rural area, the closest is a 3.5 hour drive, and shipping to my region from is $350 for anything. You could buy a spice rack and it would be $350, or you could buy a whole house full of furniture and it is $350. This is very similar in style to the karlstad, cheaper, and free shipping, so I pulled the trigger. It will serve as as a temporary couch until I can get to an or move to a city that has one, then be moved to a guest room/office.
It definitely pulls off the mid-century modern look. Not the most comfortable thing, but impressively comfortable for a $200 futon. I fell asleep on it last night. The cushions offer good support, and the size is great for me at 60. I will add some throw pills to give the couch some depth and to add some comfort. The fabric is nice to the touch and has a nice appearance (I got the grey one). It it has a nice texture. It doesnt scream this is a futon and looks more like a couch, at least when pushed against a wall. It can easily serve as a primary sofa in a small apartment, contrary to what the other reviews say. I have sat on $400 serta couches that are less comfortable. I suspect, though, the serta-type couches will hold up better over time. Assembly was easy to do by myself. Took me less than 45 minutes, though I used a ratchet rather than the tiny wrench that comes with it. It would have taken considerably longer trying to assemble it with the provided tool.
You wont find a better futon for 199 if you are looking for the mid-century modern look, You would be hard pressed to find a real couch with a mid-century modern look for under $500 outside of , so if you are on a budget, or have limited options in your area, I might consider paying the $270 asking price, particularly if it wont get much use.
The middle legs ARE plastic, but mine were brown. Some reviews said theirs were black. They are visible when looking at the couch from most angles, and they do somewhat detract from the look, but that is the nature of futons and should be expected. The legs dont look cheap or painted like some other reviews said. They ARE cheap, and ARE painted/veneered, but they look real and nice, even up close.
Cons:
Cushions are wrinkled, probably due to the fabric not being pulled very tight. Putting it in couch mode makes this worse, as it compresses the cushions at the bottom/back. That said, I think it might be something that is the result of being folded and stuffed in a box and might get better with time and use, and is not bad enough to knock off a star, particularly if you plan on adding some pillows, which will hide the problem.
Overall I am pleased with the purchase. I dont have any photos yet, but it looks exactly as pictured.
I was pleasantly surprised with how big the couch is, considering I knew it was being shipped via Prime. The seat and back are the perfect width so someone short can still touch their feet to the ground but someone tall can fit comfortably. It is firm but bouncy so you dont sink to the springs, and the color is perfect. Very classy looking piece that was very easy to put together. Great value for the price.
it looks SUPER good for the price. Not the most comfortable thing in the world, but when it looks this good and costs this little, thats kinda to be expected. the middle legs were brown on mine!
I was a bit disapoimted with because 1 day after I purchased this the price dropped and they wouldnt do a price adjustmentbut I got over that when it arrived in 2 days, which was almost a week before it was supposed to arrive. After getting past that I can say I put this together easily with the help of one more person to be able to hold the sofa up. It is not the most comfortable but it looks great. Also, the middle support legs are plastics and they are visible.
A nice thing is that the back is also the same material as the rest of the sofa and there are small zippers where the supprt for the futton are hidden and can be pulle dout when needed. I would not use this on a regular basis, it could use a bit more stuffing since it is a little stiff and noticeably hollow. However it does the trick and looks great.
