Stella Khaki Futon Bed

I love the twin size futon Bed. It comes with every thing. It was quick to assemble and makes a nice item to use as a chair for a reading room or make it into a bed for guest. As with all sleeper beds, you have to add a little cushion where the matress bends, but other than that, it is a wonder product. I'm very satisfied with this product.

This is a nice solid piece of furniture and I saw it on other web sites for literally double what Overstock charges, so it's a great deal. However, my mistake was not believing the review comments about difficult and frustrating assembly. I thought, "how hard can it really be?" The answer: unbelievably hard. This is the absolute worst set of assembly instructions I have ever had with a product! There are no verbal instructions, only pictures and the pictures aren't very helpful. I worked for an hour and still could not get some of the holes to line up for placement of the designated screws. Extremely frustrated, I finally gave up. I'm having to call in help to get it finally assembled. Please tell the manufacturer that the instructions should be written out clearly or placed on the Web for easy access, and that the parts should be clearly labeled. The frustration of assembly takes all the joy out of buying the product and, if I had believed that before ordering, I would not have bought this chair.

Good - It has a nice beige cover that will go with any decor. The frame is nice and folds out to the bed position easily.Bad - The mattress is flat in two parts so it can fold into the chair position making it very lumpy and uncomfortable. The directions are nothing more than a before and after picture and you have to figure out what to do on your own. Do-able, but would it really have been so hard to give a step by step guide?Ugly - The pillow it comes with has a nasty smell, which is no big deal really because its ugly anyway.Bottom line - The frame and the cover are good and if I can find a decent futon mattress to use on it I think it will be fine. I am going to try a memory foam mattress because I think it will fold into the chair position easier and be more comfortable over all.

I think it is as comfortable as you could expect this type of product to be. It looks great. and serves its purpose. It didn't arrive with all the screws, so I had to wait for those. Putting it together is a challege, even once you decipher the impossible diagram (there really aren't any "directions"). I would recommend it to a friend because I could help them assemble it.
