Beautiful, comfortable modern sofaThe good:
After having the sofa for about 3 months, I could say that I really love it! I put this on my home office because I wanted a space where my daughter could stay while I work, and I wanted to have something to lay on when I just want to take a short break from work without going out of my home office room. I have nap here possibly for 5 times within the past 3 months that I have it and it’s been comfortable. However, please take note that this is not a replacement for your bed. I think this will work for short naps and occassional sleep overs. I also like the design because I wanted my homw office to have a modern vibe and this worked well with my decor. It is also fairly easy to clean, I usually clean this by vacuuming it and spot cleaning and so far it is still beautiful and looks like new.
In addition, during the time of my purchase, I saw this sofa being sold in Amazon, and I am so thankful that I find it here in Walmart, because geez, they have a $100 difference at that time. I do not know who would want to pay $100 more for the very same sofa so be sure to shop around and check prices first before finalizing your purchase 🙂
The bad:
The thing that I did not like about this is how far its color is on actual compared to the picture. The picture shows a vibrant ivory sofa, however what I have looks like a pale light gray sofa. To put some life onto it, I decorated it with modern pillows and it worked – I now forgot that it is not ivory 🙂
Be realistic, this is not one of those “plush” sofa. I have seated on one from Crate and Barrel and it cost $1,000 . They are different and so are priced differently. However, as I said, it is still comfortable, but it is not the type that would sink when you sit like a plush sofa does. It’s on the firm side, yet comfortable. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

Very Nice for the Price!Solid futon. Support legs pop out from zippered compartments in the back to use it as a flat bed. Bed width is about the size of a twin and a half when fully extended flat. It will accommodate a couple but will be a little tight.
It is 71″ long so an individual over 6 feet will have to curl a bit. Black Velvet fabric is soft and looks quite nice. I added a 3″ twin mattress topper (trimmed to size) and covered with a matching (camp cot ) sheet for the seat portion as my main use is as my office sofa.

Nice affordable couchI put it together myself in about 1 hour. It was fairly simple with detailed instructions which was helpful. So far its comfortable and I am very happy with my purchase. The gold is a little bit more dull than I anticipated but that A better look anyway.

Attractive Modern Looking SofaThe Ivory color is very light which is perfect for us. A four star rating was given due to the comfort of the seating. The seating needs a little more cushioning. Overall, very pleased with our purchase!!

Nice for priceNice but not super comfortable. Also the cream color is more of a white. Much lighter than the picture. But good enough for my sunroom.

Futon where????Doesn’t look like a futon. Difficult to put together and some minor defects but I love the look and size

well worth the money, dont settle for a cheaper 1This is the comfiest futon I’ve ever slept on. im not a great sleeper and was looking for something different that would help me sleep in my room instead of on the couch all the time. I did buy a mattress topper for it as the joints in the middle can prod you in the night depending on how you sleep. The arms could use better support and anchoring to the bed. works great for me at 5’5′ but not for tall people.

Attractive, but disappointing assembly.Very attractive, but missing two nuts. Company was very cooperative and mailed missing parts quickly, but Im still waiting for handyman to install. Not convenient! Other ratings complain about missing parts
also. Cant attest to its sturdiness or durability. Time will tell.

Looks excellent, lacks comfortExtremely hard seat and back. Looks very nice with extremely rich color. Feels “fancy” at a good price. Not comfortable to sit or lay for extended periods. More decorative than practical.

Poor design won’t last long with normal useFabric great the only reason it’s getting 2 stars
It’s futon is uncomfortable, and kinda small for a futon it’s more of an XL twin size. You can feel the bar though when you lay on it and when you sit in the middle.
Also how the sides attached are poor in design and is basically going to fail on you at some point had I realized that at the time I bought it I wouldn’t have.
It couldn’t handle normal use it’s a purchase I regret to be honest if I could do it all over again I wouldn’t.
One of the arms failed I am not even sure why it did thought a bolt came loose been a consistent issue but the bolt was tight and I realized the design of how the arm to the couch attached failed. I was hoping I was wrong when I put it together turns out I was right it’s not a good design for a couch
