Easy to assemble, does the job, some stability issues
Unless youre in a wheelchair, 70+ years old or have some kind of physical impairment that would make moving furniture an issue, you can skip on having them put it together for you. It took me about 30/45 minutes to put it all together. They also provided extras parts, which was handy.
Its very compact on arrival, so youll need a lot of room to put everything together. The manual thankfully was well laid out and the only problem I had was big hands + small tools. But thats a ME issue, so Im not knocking them for that. Just a comment that you may have similar issues.
I have two areas I have to ding them over.
First off, the way the arm rests are set up . I wouldnt trust any more weight on it than a 15 pound cat. I wont say flimsy, but I just dont trust them. Theyre held attached to the main body by three big long crews, at the bottom. So . be warned.
The other ding isnt as huge of an issue, but worth mentioning. When you unfold it for a bed, note that you have to unzip the back and pull out two retractable plastic leggings. One for each half of the bed. That in and of itself I dont like. The front side has 7 legs(four left, 4 right, 3 center), while the back side only has two legs. The other thing is these two legs have a tendency to slip while you sleep, especially if you toss and turn a lot.
That was a problem!!Sorry for a long review, but these are important things to consider. Overall Im happy with the futon. Its comfy and compact. It was easy to set up with a well explained manual. But the supports for the arm rests and the back half during sleeping are questionable.
