My boys love it and its perfect for sleepover time. Can just pull out the futon. Read instructions carefully because there were times I had to unscrew some part and some parts struggled fitting. But overall I got it up and love it This was definitely a good choice.
took few hours to install, Take your time and follow the instructions, the end is little tricky going from futon to bed installations , cheaper than wood frame and definitely more durable. Better than the picture!
Well made product with fair price.
Very good manual. LOTS of pieces. Hundreds. Takes patience to put together.
Some steps like attaching end pieces to frame much easier with two people.
Very clear instruction. Well written but I still made two mistakes which I had to undo. No big deal.
Only supply exactly the number of hardware, screws, nuts etc. Dont drop any or they will end up in the other dimension where socks and sunglasses go!
Broke 3 retainer clips for the slats. Contacted company for replacements which probably cost about .10 cents but request extraordinary amount of verification: invoice (easy ), picture of bed, pictures of broken clips, sticker on bed.sigh. Anything to NOT provide the pieces under warranty. Doral Home Products should rethink this. Happy with purchase
Overall, this is a very good bunk over futon option. It is well built. Very sturdy and I am extremely happy with the purchase. There is a negative side though. The instructions, in my opinion, were lacking major details and information, which caused me to spend 6 hours working on putting this together.
I highly recommend that you plan this out. Open and inspect all the parts. Read through all the directions (all 18 steps) FIRST. Its very important for you to understand what is the top of a piece and what is the bottom. What is the front and what is the back. The instructions dont go over that part. And since many of the parts are interchangeable (in their appearance) and look the same upright as they do upside down . I found myself very frustated in the end. As I had to dismantle several pieces that I had gotten wrong.
I think if I was a bit more organized going into this, and understood that this could be an issue, I would have been more careful in the build. All in all, I got the job done. I did not give up. 6 hours later (no joke!!!) I had my bunk put together. Good product and definitely a value of a purchase.
Before I begin you need to know Im really good at assembling furniture/ so good that Im on speed dial in my friend group to come and bail them out or to just take over from the beginning. This assembly was not really complicated but will take 2 people and a few hours. You will also need to know a copy things. There is a COMPLETELY MISSING STEP which will leave you scratching your head and whats really spooky is that it should be part of Step 13. By the time you have gotten there you will have the back seat of the futon constructed. and will have attached the springs. See Photo 1 for what the spring attachment looks like/ they have a L or R stamped on them and the frame sits on top for construction. /
After that The directions fail to tell you that you will then attach the futon back/seat to the frame. You will do with with 9 Screws and 3 bolts./ If you do everything in order they will be the only pieces left. This will be a tiny bit tricky and you might want to set the whole thing on milk carton or have an 2 other people hold it while you install. Its also tricky b/c one of the bolts sits under the spring and you need to very careful about pulling on that spring to get to it.
One more caution/ in step 1 you will be constructing top and bottom of the frame. The bottom Part I is a solid rectangle/ be sure the welded part/ i looks like picture frame / is INSIDE and that the two holes are on the bottom of that piece on both sides when installed. Photo 2
And lastly/ there is a piece labeled U that is a heavy duty C clamp / ONLY install it if you want to use the bottom as a futon couch and never plan to convert it to a bed / you will not be able to convert it if these things are installed. Photo 3
All in all this is a nice sturdy piece. You will want to supervise the conversion from futon to bed and back as the catch is a pin with a heavy clip and could easily take a small finger off. The good news is it is also very sturdy and would be hard for a child to operate so unlikely to them to do it on accident. Beautiful color good quality
First of all, I can get the frame sent, but the futon mattress says it cannot be delivered to my address. (Same billing address)
Secondly the frame will start making squeaky noises when the bolts needs to be tighten. So every time it does we retighten the bolts. (Uses Allen wrench which comes with the package.) Yet it is working for my family. Perfect size and color for my needs.

You will want to read the missing directions.
