The construction of the frame was great. Solid doesn't seem cheap. The color I ordered nSed on the picture was very much different from what I received . This was very disappointing. It was much lighter than the picture. The mattress seems great as a bed however when it's in an upright sitting position, the cushion doesn't fit properly and is kind of uncomfortable. Overall it is solid construction and the mattress may eventually wear to fit more properly however I am disappointed with the color and comfort. Given the option to purchase again, I definitely would choose a different brand.
