Before I begin you need to know Im really good at assembling furniture/ so good that Im on speed dial in my friend group to come and bail them out or to just take over from the beginning. This assembly was not really complicated but will take 2 people and a few hours. You will also need to know a copy things. There is a COMPLETELY MISSING STEP which will leave you scratching your head and whats really spooky is that it should be part of Step 13. By the time you have gotten there you will have the back seat of the futon constructed. and will have attached the springs. See Photo 1 for what the spring attachment looks like/ they have a L or R stamped on them and the frame sits on top for construction. /
After that The directions fail to tell you that you will then attach the futon back/seat to the frame. You will do with with 9 Screws and 3 bolts./ If you do everything in order they will be the only pieces left. This will be a tiny bit tricky and you might want to set the whole thing on milk carton or have an 2 other people hold it while you install. Its also tricky b/c one of the bolts sits under the spring and you need to very careful about pulling on that spring to get to it.
One more caution/ in step 1 you will be constructing top and bottom of the frame. The bottom Part I is a solid rectangle/ be sure the welded part/ i looks like picture frame / is INSIDE and that the two holes are on the bottom of that piece on both sides when installed. Photo 2
And lastly/ there is a piece labeled U that is a heavy duty C clamp / ONLY install it if you want to use the bottom as a futon couch and never plan to convert it to a bed / you will not be able to convert it if these things are installed. Photo 3
All in all this is a nice sturdy piece. You will want to supervise the conversion from futon to bed and back as the catch is a pin with a heavy clip and could easily take a small finger off. The good news is it is also very sturdy and would be hard for a child to operate so unlikely to them to do it on accident. Beautiful color good quality
You will want to read the missing directions.
