I was hesitant to buy a futon because I relate it to college days of 1 ramen student budget living. Nope. This is a nice, sturdy, good looking futon.
No matter what anyone says, the build is not difficult. Yes there are lots of parts but the directions are clear. We did look up the video, which was a big help. It took less than two hours for two of us to assemble it. 
It’s big and really comfortable for both of us. The colors of the wood and the grey cover we ordered was true to the pics. We have it as a little extra space for guests. So it won’t be used on a regular basis. So, I feel confident it’ll last a long time. 

Tip we added silicone corner bumpers on the back corners to protect the walls from getting beat up when the futon is folded out as a bed.
