The futon is a very attractive piece of furniture. However, it is uncomfortable to sit on and even more uncomfortable to lay on. I added a 11/2 inch mattress topper to no avail. The futon is extremely firm, and uncomfortable. I gave it to my brother as a housewarming gift. I wish I could return it for a less firm futon.
Wow! Its lovely! The product itself is high quality, seems durable, pretty comfortable for what the average comfort level of this style (but definitely still firm) and the sleeper option is great!! It feels very firm when you lay down but surprisingly comfy! I could totally sleep on this thing with no issues. It was very easy to assemble myself Only issue was one of the holes wasnt perfectly drilled so I needed to fix it with a screw bit to fit in the screw. Overall, it took about an hour but probably could have done it in 20/30 min had all the holes been exactly right. Not hard at all! Came in one BIG box but I had to wait for a second person to bring it up my two flights of stairs cause it was heavy. We were able to roll it up together. It was left on my porch of apt which I disliked since I wrote a note to about not doing that, but oh well. Loving my new gorgine sofa!!
We ordered the Tallulah Split Back Futon (with the rectangular legs) and received the Vintage model with round, lathe turned legs and other differences. I could see this being a problem if you want a certain decor. For us, this one will work. It is very firm; you wont like sleeping on it if you like a very soft mattress. But again, for us, we are very pleased with it at this price. The green velvet is quite nice. Comfortable to sit on.
Love the color of this couch. The amount of sun in the room makes it appear goldenrod. Very easy to assemble and packaged well. The couch was wrapped in a mesh fabric to protect the velvet cover in transit. Arms were tucked underneath the seat of the couch. Took less than 30 minutes to attach the arms and feet. The seat seems firm and supportive. Its not my everyday couch and will serve as a guest bed in the office when needed.
The fact that I assembled this couch all by myself with several neighbor kids and my own kids running around says a lot. Super easy to assemble. Very thoughtfully designed.
The bottom line is. this couch looks awesome. Its perfect in the living room of my 1950s DC/area brick colonial with small rooms. Its soft as well.
It is NOT, however, comfortable in any way. Its like the perfect couch to have in one of those new but cheap boutique hotel rooms. For the price its a steal. But just know you will not be getting anything close to a memory foam feeling when you sit on it. I mainly got it for aesthetics and for some function without breaking the bank (while I wait for kids to get older so I can invest in a very nice couch again someday).
With a few tweaks this couch could be absolutely perfect. Definitely a more supportive back is a must for future design.
I purchased this knowing that the color was more of an aqua with blue hues. Just received it. SOFT velvet and looks quality. Came with nicely labeled parts and screws etc. Color is perfect for my scheme.
We just got it today but assembly was easy and it looks great. Its also the perfect combination of firmness and softness. My one callout is that the green color is more olive than the forest green in the photo. I actually really like that though.
Not the most comfy couch in the world but its really good looking and extremely soft and velvety to the touch. Easy to put together (comes folded in 116 lb box). The arms are stored inside. Back comes down easily to turn into a bed. Love it.

This futon is too firm.

Lovely, Durable, Fairly Comfortable!

Nice, but we were sent a different sofa

Looks good
Very hard and had a tear in the seat.
Great couch!
This couch is perfect for our daughters playroom! Very comfortable! I would say it is more of a bubblegum pink, but still works perfectly.
Worth the wait

Light green is not really green
I purchased this knowing that the color was more of an aqua with blue hues. Just received it. SOFT velvet and looks quality. Came with nicely labeled parts and screws etc. Color is perfect for my scheme.
So far so good!

Handsome vintage look
Not the most comfy couch in the world but its really good looking and extremely soft and velvety to the touch. Easy to put together (comes folded in 116 lb box). The arms are stored inside. Back comes down easily to turn into a bed. Love it.
