Very satisfied with the sofa/futon. Not difficult to assemble (one person can by leaning it against wall) as instructions were well written, only a few parts to assemble & diagrams were accurate and all tools you need are included. Firm yet comfortable seating w/coiled springs it should last awhile. Sofa comes folded inside 4'x 4' box you unfold and attach front/side panels, 4 leg & 2 center supports. Love the texture of the fabric . I'm 5'11 can totally stretch out on it!
