The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star product is their method of shipping. This Futon came in a box unassembled / that part is fine / the box was utterly demolished and half of the futon was hanging out on my front porch. I couldnt believe that everything was still included and although the contents were a bit dirty nothing was broken. Once I started messing with the box to get the rest of it off / I realized that the box it was in could barely be called cardboard. So they need to use a sturdier box for shipping.
Now on to the futon itself/
Assembly should really take 2 people about 30 minutes.
I had only me / and Im very small. I also had a cat and two dogs trying to help they werent helpful. It took me about 2 hours. Much of the 2 hours was finding ways to lean the futon just right so that I could get two pieces aligned properly so that I could assemble them. If there had been another person here they could have just held it.
The actual assembly was (would have been) very simple. Also everything was included so I didnt require any additional tools.
Once assembled this is a very attractive futon that appears to hold up well. Im not a huge person but I can lay across it or sleep on it / however it is very firm. If you arent a fan of firm, this might not be what you are looking for.
Very attractive futon!
