So far, this is very comfortable and convenient. I have a hard time fitting a full size couch through my apartment door, so the fact that this came in four smaller boxes was a huge plus. Free shipping definitely sweetened the pot. The futon seems very sturdy and the wood pieces are high quality. Converting to a bed is easy, converting back to a couch is a little harder and takes two people. Assembly was very easy, and I really like the look of the futon. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.
