Futon arrived on scheduled delivery date and was easy to assemble.  Color is a rich shade of blue and looks great in our small office.  I deducted one star as folding down the back part of the couch to lie flat and then bringing it back to the upright position was difficult.  At one point, both sides were stuck in the flat position and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get them back to the upright position.  Seems like the construction is missing some gears that would make rotation smoother.
