Bi-fold Metal Futon Sofa Bed Frame

As every one else had stated, the futon came with poor instructions BUT after becoming familiar with every piece, it is fairly simple-- just match the holes. My main issue is being as stubborn as I am, i like doing things on my own so i did not ask for an extra pair of hands to help prop parts together as i screw. Therefore It required every limb off of my 5ft body to put this together and voila! it is now sitting beautifully in my living room. The mechanism works great and it is fairly easy to adjust from upright to flat. It is somewhat low to the ground, i'm not sure if most futons are like that, but i wish it had a little longer legs. Overall, good product for the price and shipped fairly quickly. Let's hope it will last a long time!

I think we should send one of these bed frames to every major engineering school in the country and see how well their senior students do with putting this together. My guess is that they would have a tough time. Obviously I had some difficulty with assembly. That said, I am impressed with how well this is constructed, as well as how well it operates.

When I received this futon frame the paint had already started to chip off in shipping. More of the paint chipped off as I was removing it from the box. The slats of wood that support the mattress are very flimsy. It doesn't seem like it could support much weight. The directions to assembly was a sheet of paper with diagrams on it. It was hard to decipher how the springs were suppose to go on. After multiply trail and errors I finally figured it out.

My futon frame is still not assembled. so far no one has figured out the very obtuse illustration as to how it goes together. I think it is well made but very disappointing that I don't have it together yet.
