Rated 5 out of 5 by wetfoot love it
We have one of the original futons bought at least 15 years ago. It has survived our children and their friends growing up and is still being used in our family room. Looks great. Deciided after looking for a new sofa for the living room to get a second futon. Their have been some change but all good. The quality is still excellent. The dark mission is more brown than the other mission pieces we have but it all blends together. The ease of putting this together is amazing.Thank you L L Bean

Rated 5 out of 5 by ShopsInGeorgia Super futon!
We are a family with 2 teenage sons and 3 dogs and this has been in our living room for many years. It has held up wonderfully! And it has been used for sleepovers quite a bit. The cover and futon still look brand new. (and one of our dogs is a "digger" who likes to scratch before he lays down) The fabric has held up fantastically - better than any other we have had for seating. It is a bit harder than a regular sofa. I think I may get an egg crate foam insert and put it inside to make it a little bit more "cushy". A serious futon. Solid. Love that it washes easily too.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Poughkeepsieshopper Almost perfect
I bought this because I needed a couch that would double as a bed.
Positives: great looking, easy to clean, put it together almost entirely myself, fall asleep on it all the time.
Negatives: if you have back problems then it is not comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. I would recommend the ultralight couch if you wanted something to sit on and did not need something that could be converted to a bed for guests.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PecanLady Great purchase
The futon arrived quickly. Box was very damaged, but futon was just fine. It was put together with a minimum of effort. Looks spectacular and very, very comfortable. It fits our needs perfectly. I would highly recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BBCat Easy to Assemble
I put this together by myself in two days. I'm a 62 year old gramma. The directions were clear and the materials solid and everything fit! It took me longer because I had no one to hold the 'other side' of the long pieces, so I had to rig up little piles of books to balance things while I worked. I love the finished product!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by LovetoshopwithLLBean Came back for a second Mission Futon...
We had purchased a Mission Futon (Light Mission) when we built our home 4 years ago, and recently came back for a second one! We gave our son the sleeper couch we had in our guest room, and replaced it with this second Mission Futon. We have a Craftsman/Arts and Crafts style decor in this house, and the Mission Futon fits the bill perfectly! It's well made, beautiful, comfortable and functional. I love LL Bean's quality products, from clothing and shoes, to home furnishings and bedding, etc...plus the wonderful, attentive customer service! Thank you LL Bean!

Rated 5 out of 5 by PieInTheSky Almost easy to assemble
I'm very pleased with the futon. It took me two hours to assemble by myself, although a friend helped put the mattress in the cover. One part of the instructions needs to be clarified: in the written directions it has the buyer assembling the left arm first. I figured the left arm was my left as if I were sitting on the futon; however, the directions were written as if the person were standing facing the futon. Because of this, I had to take apart one end of the futon before I could proceed. This should be easy to rectify by LL Bean. I have five other dark Mission style pieces, and the stain on the futon is lighter than the other pieces. However, it still blends in.
I've thoroughly enjoyed the futon; it's great for naps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ReturningLLBeanCustomer Mission Futon
This is a very good quality piece of furniture and looks really good in my guest/living room in my summer home. I got the tan print slip cover with the bolsters. I am extremely pleased with all of it. It took my husband only an hour to assemble by himself, so that is another positive for this item. The only disadvantage was that I thought it was somewhat "pricey", but I know that it is of good quality if sold by LL Bean.

The futon is an attractive addition to my den, and I am more than pleased at how comfortable the cushion is. Unfortunately,the futon cover is on backorder, so I expect the final look to be superb. I have stretched out and taken a cat nap, without opening the futon to full size, and expect it will function well as an added bed for overnight guests wanting a good night's sleep.
