I was very hesitant about ordering a big piece of furniture that could be a pain to return, but I am very pleased with my decision to dive in with the purchase! It is always tough to buy furniture and not know how comfy it is. It is very comfortable to sleep on, comfortable enough to sit on (not my primary seating), and I love how versatile it is! It is definitely worth the money. Would probably be uncomfortable to sleep on the middle where the crack is as a regular bed, but if you stay on your side it is fine. It's very easy to change the positions of the futon and overall it seems well made. One thing I didn't realize was that it weighs quite a bit so you need help putting it together. It comes in 2 boxes, one is 100 lbs and the other is 60 lbs, which I was worried about, but the fedex guy does home delivery and brought it up to my apt. (on the elevator). I've been looking for a futon for a year and I'm glad I waited for this to pop up!
