This futon hits the spot in every way. Reasonably priced, delivered early, well made, easy to assemble and very comfortable. I purchased the 8 inch mattress for added support and I am very happy with my purchase.

This futon took a while to put together. My husband is very handy and it took him about 45 minutes, so be prepared. It's a lovely wood color, just like the picture. The futon mattress (queen) is a little high in the back where you would put your head in couch position. No problem for us but in tighter spaces or low slanting ceilings it may be an issue. The burgundy looks great, however, the white threads that hold it together in spots do show. I'm getting a burgundy permanent marker to color those threads in. Be careful opening and closing it. There's a certain way to rotate it and pull, then push into place and put the back legs down when putting it down. Same thing in reverse for putting it up. It's very comfortable though. Looks great in our cabin. Very happy with the purchase.

This futon was pretty easy to assemble even as an older person (60+). I did need some help for the last couple of steps just because the pieces were a bit bulky. I am pleased with the look and sturdiness of the frame - my 400lb boyfriend can sit on it without any creaking at all. I am slightly disappointed in the futon mattress. Although very comfortable, the fabric seams are not well sewn in places, and will definitely need some touch-up work. There are many stray strands of thread hanging that I needed to cut loose and there are a few apparent spots where the pieces of fabric are not well sewn together - it appears the machine missed up to 3/8" of seam in one or two places. This is my only complaint after well over a month of use. Otherwise it looks and performs well. It is fairly easy to go from the fold-out to upright position without assistance if you remember to pull out the bottom first and the mattress along with it about halfway down. Otherwise it can be a little difficult unless you have some assistance from a 2nd person.

The frame is beautiful, sturdy and solid, and was relatively simple to assemble (took my husband and I about 1.5 hours; was straightforward, just a lot of pieces) but I was very disappointed when we unpacked the mattress. It's basically a very light tan/beige (not the greenish khaki depicted online) and was much thinner, WRINKLED, and cheaper looking than I'd envisioned (my son has a similar futon with a THICK, sturdy pad of linen and I thought this would be the same).
After doing a lot of adjusting, plumping and smoothing with wrinkle-releaser it's slightly better, and doesn't look like a frat house anymore. And since this is just going in an upstairs study/guest room I'm fine with it. But I wouldn't want this for my living room.
It IS pretty comfy to sit on, a nice big size and easy to convert into a bed"¦.but it also came with these weird spots that almost look like grease stains. Hopefully I can cover with decorative pillows.
So"¦.hope that helps!
PS: this also came in three separate packages over the course of two weeks: frame, arms, and mattress. So just be aware!

Was a little challenging putting it together but my husband seemed to have enjoyed the "puzzle game" experience. The mattress came a few days after the base. Very big and fluffy mattress. Could not feel the wooden base at all. Base is very sturdy. The only issue I had was that the mattress covering had a smell. The covering came with zippers so you had the option of taking it off and washing it but I didnt want to risk shrinkage.

After two days the smell was considerably less but still present. It gets less and less with each passing day. No regrets though as you dont get pull out beds with that fluffy thick study mattress and base any more.

As a seat/chair, when lying down in it, it could hold me and my husband comfortably. Despite the smell my husband fell asleep on the mattress while "testing out its comfort". It was a good purchase.
