It all came intact, which was a plus. Assembly was actually fairly easy. The instructions were not difficult to comprehend. It weighed quite a bit inside the box. It states a little over 60 lbs. It rises less than a foot from the floor when in bed mode. Comfort is decent as I expected however. Its nice to sit on. I wish that the backrest was a bit taller at least for more comfort. Im 5 ft. 9 in. But it fits for my current needs. Thusly, I am thankful.
