The hardest part about the set up of this awesome futon was getting it out of the box!  It was packed very well and glued tight.  After the initial struggle with the box, it was easy-breezy.  Loved that the legs were inside the futon (underneath, of course) so no screws got lost or misplaced.  All that being said, it is quite comfortable.  I bought it for my den as an extra place to both sit and sleep as needed.  The grey linen is very nice and looks expensive and well-made.  I couldn't be happier!
