This really is a great piece, very solid and the mattress is comfortable but still flexible. Frame is very strong and the instructions were very clear. The only reason this isn’t five stars for me is because the frame is so heavy that changing the position must be done VERY carefully or the back of the frame will slam down. Really needs two people to do it safely, and both of them need to know what to expect.

The futon is just what we wanted - thanks!

This is all around the best futon I’ve ever seen or owned

This is a well designed structure. The parts are solid wood and a beautiful color. I was pleasantly surprised during the installation process- there are color coded dots in addition to part labels which made it very easy to install. The screws and installation hardware was so well done too, each screw had its own slot in a cardboard sheath and was labeled and told you which step and what page each part corresponded with, which I have never seen before (and I have seen and built a lot of furniture working in a home furnishing store for many years). As others have mentioned the drawers don’t glide into anything, they’re just loose on the floor but it’s fine for what it is. My reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that the first time lounging on it, one of the buttons where the cushion is held together ripped so now I have a 1.5” hole in my cushion. It’s also not standard upholstery buttons, it’s cheap looking plastic tabs, I was disappointed when I saw them. They are on both sides of the cushion so I know it’s supposed to be like that. Overall I am happy with this purchase and hope to get years of enjoyment out of it

Exactly what I wanted- delivered on time and with care. Comes in four pieces
