I bought this futon for my bus renovation where I’m going to live in full time. I didn’t think I could put this together by myself but I was wrong, I did it and it wasn’t difficult. As long as you keep all the parts and tools organized and really look at the drawings carefully you won’t make any mistakes. One of the drawings doesn’t look exactly like the support brackets and I accidentally placed it in the wrong position but I quickly put it right and then put the rest of the pieces in place. Just give yourself plenty of floor space to put this together at least a 10x10 area to move around easily. And keep yourself organized!!!! It’s a 4 out of 10 for complexity of the assembly. Have fun!!!
