Novogratz Skylar 77 Inch Futon Sofa Bed in Velvet Fabric, Industrial Modern Upholstered Couch Sleeper with Black Metal Legs, Green

The 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. There are also extra 2 legs hidden behind the sofa which would support it when you want to use this as a bed.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. However, I have to say that I finalize my purchase of this sofa with Walmart because at the time that I bought this, Amazon and Walmart has a $100+ difference, with Amazon's price being higher. 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 price range of this sofa from various retailers is huge, so be sure to really research before you finalize the purchase :)

Was drawn to this futon/couch because of the look and price. A lot of the "velvet" couches I was in love with were $700+ and I just can't spend that amount on a piece of furniture. Decided to go with this because of the reviews here. I bought the beige color (I wanted the emerald green, but had to compromise w/ my boyfriend on color LOL) and it looks soooo good! Took my boyfriend and I a little over 2 hours to put together. I would def recommend having someone help because this is a pretty heavy futon. We had some issues with the some of the screw holes, it looked like some of the black soft material had melted inside but was easy to clean out with some pliers. One of the back panels had some minor black marks from shipping, but it wasn't a big deal since I will be putting throw blankets over it anyways. I personally like that the cushions are more stiff and not super squishy. Of course, over time they will slowly get more softer. I've this futon for about a week and I just can't get over how beautiful and well made it is! Since I'm home more often now, I spend hours on this futon and never felt uncomfortable. If you are unsure, JUST GET IT!UPDATE: I've had this for about a little over a month now and the cushions have gotten softer and more comfortable. Also have used this as a futon bed and fell asleep like a baby. I actually prefer sleeping on this than my spring coil mattress! I would say it's a little small for 2 adults, but comfortably will sleep 1.

This futon is pretty great. Very sturdy, the material is velvet so it’s super soft. It was also pretty easy to put together. I did it myself with no issues. I’m giving it 4 stars only because mine isn’t as black as the pictures made it look. It’s almost got a greenish tint to it. Still black, but not BLACK. You can see the difference between the futon, and the black pillow and the sound absorbers on the wall for reference. Either way, I’m happy with it! Hopefully it lasts a long time.

Neat! Easy to assemble!

i don't normally write reviews, but this futon/couch really is 10/10.first of all, i'm a plus size woman and i'll assure you it is very supportive! i've had this couch for a little over a month now, and have slept on it numerous times, and have had multiple other people along with myself sitting on the couch and it fully supported us! if you're concerned about sturdiness and support, look no further, this really is it!!the couch is absolutely beautiful and the velvet is soft, with decently deep seats. the cushions are THICK and you don't feel the coils or anything, they are very soft with a little bounce. again, very very supportive and comfortable. if you're looking for something affordable while remaining beautiful, this really is your couch.i cannot build anything, and i was able to build this couch all by myself with no additional tools required.the couch delivers in a single box, it is very heavy tho, i believe it read 120 pounds.BIG KEY PIECES OF ADVICE: someone else stated that you should put the arms, or the sides on last and i FULLY AGREE! i followed their advice, and when it came to putting them on i instantly understood why and how it would have been 100% more difficult to follow the instructions for that part.SECONDLY, there are 2 thin pieces that end up being the front bottom part, there are screws that it'll say to screw in all the way- i wouldn't, it ended up leaving a mark on the outside, small circles from the screws on the inside- just be mindful.LASTLY, the couch folds a little funny and flops- so if assembling alone, keep that in mind!BUY THIS FUTON/COUCH!
