I purchased two of these to use in my empty bedrooms for when my adult offspring return home to spend the weekends. The frames are sturdy and well built. They are, truly, natural wood - no varnish, no stain. Easy to put together. There is nothing on the frame that keeps the futon mattress from slipping downward when using it in the upright position. That's a little frustrating. But the frames work well for the purpose for which we bought them.
