This arrived within a few days. I managed to put this together myself by moving the frame around to help align pieces. It would have been easier in one or two places to have another pair of hands.(She was out!) One useful tool I used was an electric screwdriver for the screws. The bolts tightened up easier with a touch of Vaseline. The sofabed seemed sturdy and folded out well. The width is a small double....4ft...which we hope will suit a visiting couple. We shall see...
