This futon is awesome. The packaging is heavy, but not too heavy. I suggest you have someone help you open the packaging because it is very secure. I sprained 2 fingers and broke 6 nails in the process of opening the package. I will say the sacrifice was worth it because while the box itself was beat, the futon was in pristine condition. The futon took me about 20 minutes to assemble, and 5-7 minutes to get it to a upright position. I saw review on people feeling the mental through the cushions, so far I do not have this issue. I fell asleep in it after I finished putting it together and it was rather comfy.The fabric is very durable, firm and a sort of roughish texture-it was not sandpaper rough but it wasnt plush toy soft either.. If you do not like your futon fabric on the roughish side you can use a blanket.
My living room is on the small/medium side and the futon does not take up a lot of room nor does is it too small, it is just right. I think I can get the matching lounge chair to fit in my living room without crowding it. The cons of this futon is that the back (the part that goes moves up and down) kept falling back when I was opening (from its original folded position) and moving the futon. The shipping was fairly fast but was delayed by a day because UPS did not get the package in time.
UPDATE:
I notice the back cushions did not line up fully. At first it was a few centimeters but not the gap got bigger. I hope it doesnt get and bigger than it currently is. I still love the futon though. I just ordered the lounge chair to match.
Worth the hype and price.
