Novogratz Brittany Sofa Futon, Premium Linen Upholstery and Wooden Legs, Green Linen

This couch was originally purchased for my spare room being used as a TV room for the kids to hang out in. It was easyish to assemble. Unfortunately it was way too small and not comfortable enough to chill on.As you can see form the photo, I ended up keeping it anyway and using it as an additional accent couch in my living room and it worked out perfectly! The aqua color matches the accent colors in the living room very nicely.It is more aqua in color than the photos shows.It is less of a denim color as seen in my pictures.It is not very comfortable, especially the futon aspect of it.No one is going to be happy sleeping on this and it feels a bit unstable to do so.It is nice for guests to just sit on for a bit, but not a great couch to chill on and watch TV for too long.For the price I paid for it ($179.00), it is a good deal and great for a small space and infrequent, casual sitting, but not really for main couch and as you can see from the photos, it is much too small for a 12'x12' room.It looked minuscule in there. All and all, I don't regret my purchase and think it worked out for the better.Just be sure that you put the couch together where you will be putting the couch because once it is put together it is hard to move around and from room to room due to the movable back and you cant really slide it much because the legs are on an angle and may crack. Once together it cannot be moved through standard doorways and will have to be partially dissembled.Hope this review was helpful. :)

I really like how the couch looks and comparing it to other sofas/futons in the same price range and size it was the best choice personally. I’m using it in an office just for some seating if I want to relax. It’s pretty sturdy but the texture of the fabric is not the most soft. The size is great for me. I fit just right and I’m a 5’10 male. Any taller then you wouldn’t be able to fully stretch out. It was easy to put together. Although the smell of the couch is bad like chemicals. I’m sure it will go away over time. All in all I do recommend this couch because for its looks, price, and function as a futon. So if this is your budget then go for it but if you have a bigger budget, you might wanna find something that’s more comfortable.

I recently purchased two of these futons. I read a lot of the reviews before buying. I was certainly hesitant to buy after reading how these were uncomfortable and too firm etc. Everything about the futon is well thought out. They supply the exact amount of washers, nuts and bolts as well as a blister pack of back ups, which I never had to use. All of the components are well labeled and included an easy to read instruction booklet. The tools, legs and hardware were boxed and tucked neatly amongst the folded futon. The futon arms were in the two zippered compartments beneath the seats. The folded futon and arms were encased in a thin black fabric to protect it. You receive the tools to put it together, though the flat wrench is exhausting to use. Some reviews mention that their futon arms were wobbly or seemed like they would break under pressure. The arms shouldn’t be wobbly if you hand tightened them properly. You have to work your way back and forth tightening the nuts. The first nuts become loose after you tighten the latter. I am leaning my back on the arm of the futon as I write this, I have no fear that it will break! There are four bolts, nuts, washers and lock washers on each arm; it’s not going anywhere. I assembled both futons myself but I would recommend getting an assistant when flipping them right side up, as you don’t want to damage the legs and because the couch wants to fold in half at the hinge when you move it. There are four nice wood legs, the two center legs/supports are a sturdy plastic. The center legs have a horizontal flange with screw holes. The center legs and flange are all one piece of plastic. These legs affix directly over the large hinges between the two bottom cushion sections. This aspect of the design is my least favorite. I don’t care for the center hinge of the futon and how the plastic legs affix to that. Of course the couch wanted to fold along the hinge after the legs were affixed, I worried that the plastic legs would snap but they didn’t. It serves its purpose for having a compact, easy to ship futon though. The fabric is nice and the green seems to have brown under-tones. I believe the fabric is linen-look rather than actual linen. The green is gorgeous. As far as the comfort: there is ample padding on the futon back. The seat has springs and padding. I find the futon comfortable and not overly firm. I have had no trouble sleeping on it at all. The seat height is perfect for me (5’5”), I don’t feel like it’s too low. The seat depth is perfect for me as well. There is no movement nor creaking whatsoever when I jiggle the futon, the futon is solidly built. Overall I feel like I made a good purchase on this retro design (under $300 with tax) and I’m glad I took the chance on it. It doesn’t look nor feel cheap. I think it is a fair price for what you get. Both futons were free from rips, breaks and stains or funny odors. One futon shipping box was a bit crushed on both ends, like it had been dropped, I didn’t see any visible damage when I opened it though. There is no packing material so any impact from dropping it goes straight to the futon.
