This review is only for the quality of engineering, instructions, and product, which all seem very good. Since this futon is only for the occasional guest I have not slept on it nor do I intend to, so I am not qualified to comment on comfort.
The seller has given careful thought to the instructions, which are excellent and in perfect english. They have pre-assembled several items so the instructions are not quite up to date, but this is not really an issue. What is more of an issue is the lack of labelling. It would be great if all parts were labeled, or at least the few that are right versus left. Plan on 90 minutes for assembly, and get a metric hex bit handy for your portable drill motor to speed things a bit. A helper is recommended near the finish.
Another reviewer mentioned that the wood is finger-jointed, but this is nearly invisible, and probably a feature, not a bug. If I had not read that review I would never have noticed the joinery.
Excellent Instructions
