This futon looks great.The lines of it are pretty sleek, and the fake leather is of a very high quality.It's also quite sturdy.The wood of the frame is strong and four of the six feet are reasonably solid metal (the center two feet are plastic).It appears as though it's strong enough that it would hold up to daily use.I don't intend to utilize it on a daily basis, so I expect mine to last quite a long time.Assembly was mostly easy.You have to bolt the four metal feet to the bottom and then screw the plastic feet into the hinges in the center.You're given all of the tools you need for the assembly (and more screws and bolts than you actually need).The only difficulties I encountered were with the soft metal of the screws (they're very easy to strip) and lining up the bolts for the center console section.The bolts on the center section took a lot of wiggling and the space was a bit tight.That said, it didn't really take me more than fifteen minutes to put the whole thing together.I'd consider that pretty easy overall.I had one issue that I cannot blame on the manufacturer.One of the plastic center feet was damaged in the shipment that I got.One flange had been broken off.I'm pretty sure the damage occurred in transit, as the broken pieces of the flange were still in the box.Given that the futon travelled around the world to get to me, it's certainly understandable how such damage may have occurred.The plastic foot is still useable (the intact side of the flange screwed in just fine) and it's not affecting the functionality at all.I'm just noting that the cost saving measure of using plastic for the middle feet has led to some number of futons having transit damage.I'm still very happy with the futon.Highly recommended.This futon is great.

Nice furniture. Very sturdy. Easily can be placed up as a couch and laid down as a bed. Surprisingly comfortable

The quality of this couch is okay and about what I expected for the price. It was fairly easy to assemble by myself within 40 minutes. It's pretty comfortable and somewhat sturdy though lightweight.What I cannot get over is how tiny this futon is. I am 5'10 and considered one of the short people in our household. There is no way anyone but my 12, 10 and 8 year old would want to sit on this thing due to how low it is. Luckily, I got the futon specifically for their play room/sun room. Unfortunately, I got this for me to actually sit on while they play and I will feel like I am getting up off the floor.I give this futon 3.5 stars.
