Atherton Home Manhattan Convertible Futon Sofa Bed and Lounger, Multiple Colors 4.2 5 262 300
great price, appearance and function The box that this product comes in is HUGE and you should use a pickup truck to pick it up. You could take it out of the box to move it, but you would run the risk of damaging it. This is a very nice-looking futon - kind of a retro style, pretty brown color. With so many easily adjustable positions, I was very pleased with its functionality. I am merely using it for the occasional overnight guest as well as a couch in the spare room/kid's play room. It is perfect for my purposes in mind and would recommend it to anyone that has the same intentions. I was sort of under time constraints when I ordered it, needed it to arrive before family came for Thanksgiving, and it was shipping from CA to the East Coast! There was no problem, it arrived with plenty of time. Assembly was a piece of cake; consisted of screwing the feet on. The only issue I noticed was the static electricity (this could be attributable to the winter months). So I sprayed it with Static Guard, which eliminated the problem for the most part. Some might think the bed was a little too firm for overnight guests. I own a full-size memory foam topper which fits on it perfectly - good to use if someone is actually sleeping on it; makes it a little more comfortable if you are sensitive about this. This was a great find for the price I paid! 12/06/2008
You will not regret this purchase! After searching on line for a futon for my efficiency apartment I settled on this one and have not been disappointed. It arrived fast, in great shape, and was easy for two men to carry into my efficiency apartment. We loaded on top of a car with racks to bring it home. The color is a rich brown, goes well with a round chair a purchased at the local Walmart store, I find the end pillows to be no problem, they sit nicely on the end, I slept on it last night for the first time and it was extremely comfortable, firm, but that is the way I like it. The only difficulty I had was that when I placed it in the recliner position, I had a problem getting the mechanism to release to fall back into the bed position, but after a number of tries it finally released. (See Q & A section). What I find the most enjoyable is that when in the couch position it is very comfortable, so many futons have a slight backward slant, but this couch sits up straight on the back. You will need to keep a lint roller handy as it does pick up lint easily, but the fabric really is beautiful. I found this exact item other places for up to $200 more, so this really is a great buy. 04/30/2009
GREAT CANT STOP FEELING LIKE I WON! This couch is fantastic! (we bought the black version of this couch) My wife and i were tired of buying cheap furniture to save us money. In the end we always got what we paid for.This couch surpassed my expectations. It has a sturdy design but it comfortable to sit, lounge and sleep on once its been broken in. All you have to do out of the box is fasten the legs to the base. Setup was easy and figuring out how to move the positions was a cinch too. I would recommend this couch to anyone who wants to buy a useful piece of furniture that is stylish, comfortable and worth the price for the quality.That being said if you have the ability to do site to store that is the most convenient way to get it shipped. Pick it up in a pickup truck bc we had it delivered adding an extra $100.It's still worth the money, love the couch. 03/01/2009
Great Futon! I purchased this futon for my loft. It is a great size for small spaces. It is also so easy to change from couch to lounger to bed. It is firm, which I like and the overall looks is modern. You cannot beat the price for this value. If picking up from the store, you need a truck or big van. The item is too big for most cars, suvs, mini vans. 02/03/2009
