This futon cost me like $350 dollars all together... and it does look great in my room, but i stil can't believe i spent that much on a ruddy futon.
I guess for that amount, I want to believe that it will stand strong even through an apocalypse or something...
so if you're willing and able to part with the money, then Yes, i highly recommend this beauty. It looks very sleek and sophisticated when it is set up as a couch, and it even has two decorative couch pillows included in the packaging.
oh, and quite comfortable to sit/sleep on.
very nice value.
