The overall quality of the futon is good. My husband was able to put it together using both the instructions included and watching the online video. The only things I was a bit disappointed about was the frame which  looked like a darker rich brown in the picture but in person it has a brownish grey tint. Then the futon color. I chose the linen stone. In the picture it looked like a light brown. It is actually a light grey. I now wish I had gone with the linen charcoal because that looks like a darker brown and possibly closer to what I was hoping for in color. So I would just say be careful in picking your color. I looked at all of the choices before I bought it and still was a bit bummed.
