This is a great futon for the price!  Like other reviewers stated, it does take a little bit of time to assemble. My husband and I clocked in at 1 hour 45 minutes. The instructions were decent - but not the clearest. The wood is solid and came free of damage in two separate boxes.  The mattress came rolled up in a third box. The boxes are heavy - is recommend two people for lifting/moving.  We haven’t slept on this yet, but it looks nice and seems comfortable so far.  We are using this in our basement as a couch and an extra place for guests to sleep.
