I was looking for a piece of furniture for my office/den that wasn't too large and was able to stand up to a 3 year old. For the price, I am pleased with the futon. I read the other reviews prior to buying and knew what to expect with assembly and hardware alignment. I ended up with two screws (one on the back support and one on a leg) that just wouldn't go in, no matter how hard I tried. 

Assembly was easy enough - it took about 15 minutes from box to floor. 

I like the versatility of the piece - the arms can be positioned at several varying angles.   

Pros: Shipping was spot on, packaging was great
Cons: Back support is a cushion against a metal bar
