I was a little disappointed at how green this couch looks against beige walls and lavender curtains. But, this couch is so well designed that we may well take it with us when we find a more permanent home (we live in an apartment).
The couch is only somewhat tricky to assemble. Due to its bulky nature, it's helpful to have two people there when you're down to the last few steps.
Even though its not a very grand piece, the design of this couch is head-and-shoulders above your average futon. The inside framework is identical to a futon, but there is an actual spring mattress that goes inside (which is quite firm, if you like that), with a plush outer covering that really does wonders for the comfort. My in-laws stayed with us for two whole weeks and were shocked at how well they slept. It may feel a little stiff for someone who likes super soft bedding, though. It will sleep two people, but be prepared to get a little cozy.
There are a few reasons I chose this couch. First, I needed a couch for my office that would serve primarily as a guest bed. It needed to be compact: I have a very large desk in a somewhat small room, but this bed fits right in while leaving plenty of room for guests to comfortably maneuver the remaining space. Also, this couch is microfiber, which is a nice fabric for a couch/futon. I wasn't too keen on the similar chenille couches from Great Offer Stock. As a bonus, I now have a couch in here that takes the room from a bland office to a cozy, complete area.
The only negative thing I will say is that the pillows are purely decorative. Invest in some nice guest pillows or you may be disappointed.
