This was EXTREMELY heavy and came in 4 separate boxes. The futon itself was a bit difficult to put together. We have had it for a few weeks now and I love it. It is comfortable to sit on as we use it as a couch. the drawers are fine, I am used to them not attaching to the whole unit. The side tables are my favorite part which is why we bought this one in the first place. There were some minor damages to the piece when it was taken out of the box but overall, we are satisfied with the purchase.
