The back of the futon wouldn’t stay upright when it came out of the box.  It took a few tries to get it to stay up.  Luckily don’t need to use for any guests right now. Otherwise, very easy for one person to put together.  I like the sturdy wooden legs but the middle support leg is plastic. It’s a very simple, firm couch.  For the small space I had, price, and deliver time, fit exactly what I needed.  Am going to get some pillows to provide some head and neck support though.
