Update to review below: I was having trouble getting one side of the backrest to fold down and was making a video to send to the manufacturer per their request so that they could advise me, and voilaas I was making the video the side in question folded down It still doesnt do it easily each time, but at least I know that it will work. I love the fabric, I think the firmness is just right (not too firm but it feels like its going to hold up for a while), and it looks great in my living room. Very stylish and comfortable.
I really want to love this sofa/futon, and its just what I wanted in almost every respect, but I cant get the left/hand back to lay down. I had trouble with this when I first assembled it but tried a bit and it worked, but not it just wont go back beyond the full upright position. The other side works fine. Because it was quite heavy and diffiult to get up into my apartment (Im only 410 and 100 lbs and had to get it up a flight of stairs because the deliver person left it on the ground floor) theres no way Im going to disassemble it and try to return it / too much work. It functions great as a sofa but is useless to me as a futon. Overall good.
Almost perfect
