Exactly as expected as far as quality and sturdiness.  I am really glad I ordered the innerspring option of the futon mattress, extremely comfortable to sit on in "couch" position.  The color of the futon cover selected was a bit off from the color in the picture online, but acceptable.  The wood was also somewhat lighter than it looked in the picture, but also acceptable.  The video instructions for the drawers we ordered were not available when we assembled the rest of the futon, but managed to figure them out without too much effort.  The only we had to buy extra was a futon mattress gripper to fit the length and width of the COUCH SEAT, without it, the futon mattress had a tendency to slip forward off the edge of the wood of the seat.
