I bought this futon for my home office which becomes my 8 year old son's bed on "my" weekends as I'm recently divorced. I needed a special spot for him that I could use in my office in my tiny new place. It's definitely a 2 person assembly. The transition bed-futon is easy and 1 person. I bought a super comfy quality mattress pad and sheets to make it look like a bed. The futon is hard to get full fitted sheets on, and the sheets are a little big. But, he loved it. His first night on it, he said he slept "awesome!" So, while it's not the best permanent solution, we do our best. It looks super nice as a futon in my space and he's happy. Win win.
