So I received the package(s) a few days sooner than promised and all were in good shape and everything arrived without damage. Off to a good start. Now the fun started, the instructions, albeit therough, were at times a little confusing. So it's nessasary to be careful and make sure  that the instructions have not caused you to make an inadvertent assembly mistake. So needless to say it took way longer than I would have liked. Having said that, Once assembled the futon is sturdy, solid and all the pieces fit properly and tightly. IT LOOKS FANTASTIC, The mattress is very comfortable sitting or sleeping,  I am very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it. IF, there is any complaint beyond the assembly instructions, I wish the drawers were deeper. Buy it, You'll love.
