We used to have a metal framed futon but wanted something that looked a little nicer and was a bit more comfortable this time. This one is far more comfortable but it takes 2 people to put it in the upright position or one strong person to man handle the 50 pound mattress off to the side while you set the futon back in the upright position. Then you have to struggle to put push the mattress back into position.
I will say its a nice looking piece so if your not looking to put it up and down very often it may fit your needs.
Sturdy but hard to open and close
