I frequently have friends and family over to hang out and stay the night if needed, and my two/person loveseat air mattress werent cutting it anymore. After reading reviews for this couch/futon both here and on Wayfair, I was a bit nervous, but I decided to give it a try and Im pretty happy I did!
The biggest challenge was putting it together, but the delivery person was very nice and wheeled the box directly into my living room. Getting the parts out of the box was a struggle, but once out, I was able to put it together in about an hour by myself.
The other reviews are truethis futon IS very firm/stiff. It reminds me of the furniture youd find in college dorm common areas or office lobbies. I dont mind that too much though and I felt fairly comfy laying on it to watch TV. The material isnt soft either (honestly its kind of scratchy), but Ive made the couch feel more soft and cozy with fuzzy pillows and blankets.
Structure and material aside, the style and color are beautiful! My friends and family think it looks cute and I feel like the color has really brightened up my living room. The pink is a soft millennial pink/Glossier pink, very subtle. The size is also great / it can definitely fit three people (and pets!) if youre having a movie night or small gathering. When extended into a futon, it can easily fit one person (e.g. Im 54 and can lay all the way down on here with room to spare). However, I definitely plan on putting down a mattress pad when guests stay the night for added comfort given how stiff the cushions are.
My last note isnt so much a gripe about the couch itself, but a warning to others / my dog jumped up on the couch with dirty paws, and it was very hard to get the stains out! It might have been the stain removers I used the fact that the color couch I got is so light, but stain removers left a ring on the couch that I was only able to get out with repeated blotting, wiping, and drying.
its a lovely, stylish purchase, but keep in mind the stiff cushions and lower/quality material. Can easily fit a guest crashing overnight. Probably best as a couch in a home office/spare bedroom, but can be used as a main couch if you dont mind a firmer seat.
Stylish yet stiff
