Please take my advice and do not buy this. The couch was cheap, not sturdy, small.I went to return this and was sent a label that says "use the Mopio preferred carrier for your return to return for free, but if you cannot use the preferred carrier, you will be responsible for shipping costs." Well, the label does not specify what carrier. So I took the 2 boxes to UPS. $410 PER BOX to return this. So I sent a message to Mopio asking them to clarify what carrier to use in order to return for free. They said FedEx. I asked them to clarify again and then even sent a separate message to Amazon customer service to clarify so that I wouldn't waste another trip. I got to FedEx and they said the label provided was not even a shipping label.So then I messaged Mopio again and asked them for an actual label. They said we can issue you a pre-paid label, but now you're outside of the 30 day return window so you must pay a 30% restocking fee. I explained that I had tried to return this twice now but was not provided the necessary information or resources to return this in a timely manner. It also takes them average 2 business days to respond to messages, which causes great delay.I told them that I am demanding a prepaid label, but I absolutely will not pay a 30% restock fee for delays that are THEIR FAULT.SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE

The couch came in two days, and was easy to set up. I am setting up a home office--I am a writer--and this couch really brightens up a rather dark room. It is very firm, but I prefer if to be firm for sitting. I haven't used it as a bed yet, burr I will. The fabric is soft and suede-ish looking. It was exactly what I hoped for.

The littlest room in our attic apartment needed a makeover. This fitted under the steep eave. I loved the simple lines and the color.Two boxes, very heavy and assembly not bad. But two people are needed, for carrying the big boxes and for safety while the pieces go together. The two-part couch back folds down to make a bed, easily, with no pulling or lifting. Lots of audible clicking and grinding, at least at first. Also has a middle setting, for reclining. Very versatile in a small space.We find this purchase to be an attractive and comfortable couch. It's roomy for a loveseat. Two adults and five cats all fit. We spent some evenings watching TV from it. Pleased with the build quality.I've been leaving it open for use as a daybed. The arms hold up bolsters at either end. Room for cats and devices, and a pet cover to keep the upholstery nice, especially since I'm using it most days. And have been known to spill coffee, myself.The velvet surface is smooth and suede-like, and a lovely color. At different angles, lighting, especially with photography, the back, seat, and arms can all look different shades. It might be as simple as the sheen facing different directions, or this is the nature of this color on this fabric.Off a star for how the fabric retains impressions, and how the back cushions are not a smooth and quiet mechanism. Happy with this purchase, and since I'm not converting it every day, I expect it might last longer as a result.

I will preface this review by saying that this is a ~$300 futon. If you're expecting top quality custom furniture comfort and durability, you will be more than disappointed.I purchased this for my loft/office. I have a small entertainment center for my turntable, speakers, and record collection, but no seating aside from at my desk, or at my music area. I wanted a small sofa or futon that I could easily climb up a ladder with (access to my loft is via a ladder, no stairs) and sleep on if I was working, and needed a small space to go and take a quick nap. This seemed to hit all of the requirements for me, so I bought it.PROSIt's relatively lightweight, so moving it around isn't a challenge at all. If you need to relocate it somewhere else in your house, it will not break your back to do so.It's incredibly easy to assemble. I was under the impression that I would have to fully assemble this futon, but it's basically all ready to go, save for the legs and armrests, and then attaching each half to each other. Setup time is roughly 10 minutes.For what it is, it's pretty comfortable, and it's a decent enough size. I'm 5'9", and 215 lbs, and this works just fine for me. Laying down requires a tiny bit more room, but the armrests come off incredibly easy, so if you need to make a bit more space, it's no problem.CONSI'm not convinced that this will last even 5 years. The seat cushions are comfortable enough, but they're hollow, so parts for assembly can be stored. This doesn't leave a lot of support for sitting or laying down, and over time, I have a feeling the cushions will get worn down significantly.The width could be a bit more generous. It's supposedly 69" wide between the armrests, but why not make it a round 70", or maybe even 72"? I feel like that would add more comfort, and more value to the product.This was shipped in two separate boxes, which arrived at my house on completely different days, so that was a bit confusing. I was under the impression that I had only ordered half a futon for a little bit.VERDICTFor what it is, it's a great value. It's comfortable enough, large enough, it looks good, and it gets the job done. For the money, it can't be beat, and it earns all five stars. If this was $600 or more, I would have much stronger opinions about the cons, but for around $300, this is better than what I would expect, and most likely more well built than others that I've seen on Amazon for around the same price. Well worth the money.
