Here at Gear Patrol, we evaluate furniture for its functionality just as much as for its looks, so it’s particularly nice when we come across pieces that feature both. Simple and modern, the Mia Bark’s straight-line style and rich brown coloring make it a good candidate for matching a variety of decors.

Disguised under the seemingly basic sofa, though, is some convenient under-cushion storage for hiding all manner of household items best left out of site. It also folds down Futon style to become a full sized bed.

Not bad, considering it’s sold online for under $400. For shots of the unit’s storage and fold-out features, hit the jump.
