I was disappointed with this futon frame. Some of the pieces of wood were unfinished and rough, which not only looks bad but also seems a little unsafe, especially for kids. Two of the slats pulled right off when we screwed them in and we had to be creative in figuring out how to attach them securely. Other than that, assembly was fairly easy, and I was glad the arms were already put together and all we had to do was attach them to the frame. It is also pretty easy to turn from the couch position to the bed position. The frame looks pretty nice once it is put together, which is why I am so disappointed with the shoddy quality of some of the pieces which keep it from being a great piece of furniture that I am proud to display.
