At first, the instructions were a bit vague, but after I finally identified all of the pieces, I was able to put this product together by myself within a couple of hours. It folds down into a full-size bed quite easily, and can comfortably fit two people, but it doesnt return to the upright position as easily, at least not for one person; this is not a big deal since its our guest bed and wont be opened and closed daily. This futon seems very sturdy and the mattress we purchased is very comfortable. We are very happy with this product!
A NOTE FOR THE ENVIRONMENTALLY-MINDED: This product comes with an excessive amount of wasteful packing material (pictured). Plastic sleeves cover nearly every plank, the hardware is contained in plastic baggies, pieces are bundled together by plastic straps, and worst of all, the long box is lined with styrofoam. All of this could have been done sustainably with shipping paper, moulded shipping cartons, and remnant fabric. I truly hope this company will reconsider its use of unsustainable packing and shipping materials in the future. I have provided the seller with this feedback, and encourage any others who have purchased this product to do the same.
Love the Product, Hate the Wasteful Packaging!
