I am very happy with my purchase of this Futon and Mattress set! It was SO easy to assemble - with its step-by-step instructions. As an example of the ease with which to assemble the Futon, each individual piece was color-coded & numbered to match the pieces of the Futon to be assembled â€” it can't get any easier than that! And, while it is recommended that two people assemble it - I actually put it all together myself - with a good deal of time and effort I might add!
