this took me an hour and 45 minutes to build but it seemed to fly by as it was fun to build. best way to do it as i did it by myself is to lay all the pieces on the floor like in the instructions and then put them together. the ratchet helped a lot although my fingers were sore after. seemed pretty sturdy and does not jiggle. i like the simplicity of the design as well as functionality. i was originally going to get a futon but this one has more space esp when u have friends or family staying over. box was damaged when it arrived but not a single thing was lost nor scratch on the metal. one thing did make me think.if this did not work out, how am i going to send it back with the original box and was glad it did not come to that.
Fun to build!
