Great for a dorm or young adult apartment, but plan to eventually upgrade.
I bought this couch as a gift to myself for Christmas 2020 to furnish my first 1 bedroom apartment after moving out of a cramped studio. This is probably the best couch/futon under 300 on . It absolutely deserves 5 stars for the price point, only loosing one star in the comfort category because there are certain spots where the cushioning just doesnt cut it. That said, couches/futons usually run to 400 or more, so for around the 270 price point this is kind of a situation of its cheaper because it has less going on. You will most definitely want to get a pair of throw pillows with this piece as the arms are not really cushioned.
It comes packed in a box and so is easy to assemble. It doesnt look cheap, which is nice considering it is definitely a budget furnishing, and they pack everything into the couch itself in a very clever under/seat zip pouch. The arms can become loose after a little bit, but nothing a little tightening of the bolts cant help.
I will say, I do have some trepidations about the longevity of this piece since the cushions are just foam on a spring suspension, so I am concerned they may flatten eventually. However, for now, they look and feel fine.
Overall, if youre below the age of 25 and want a couch that you can pull out and flatten for friends/family staying the night after dinner or whatnot, this is a great couch to start with for a year or three until you are in a spot to buy something a little more luxurious. its pretty sturdy
