(I read reviews relentlessly before a purchase. Please let me know if this helps you.)
We Got this item for our 13 y/o and she loves it. I would say an 8 out of 10 stars...
It took myself my husband and the help of our kid a good 2 hours to put this beast together. The directions are clear for the most part. There was some thinking involved lol but not too much. Just take your time and follow the pictures! It came with 1 allen key but my husband had extras that were the same size so we all 3 could do something.. It Still took 2 hours!
The futon frame is very solid and sturdy.
The queen mattress does leave a bit of a gap like some of the other reviews stated.
So, I split the difference on the frame with the mattress and its not very noticable. Maybe 2 inches on each side. Nothing pillows dont fix..
Now putting it from bed back to couch that is extra tricky!. Like the reviews stated it is not a one person job... But i told my daughter she had to figure it out... So clever. she tied scarfs to the back/top of the futon couch on each side she then stands in the middle of the bed and pulls the scarfs simultaneously as she pushes with her knees on the bottom to get it back to couch position.
The mattress was shipped rolled up so i let it lay flat on the floor and then we rolled on it to flatten out the bulges from it being shipped the way it was.
If it wasnt for it being so hard to transition from couch to bed i would have rated it a ten.
No defects. No scratches. Arrived on time.
All hardware included
3 different boxes though not 2. The arms. The bed frame itslef and then the mattress.
Not easy to put back into couch.
