Good Purchase!,
I love this futon! I did not order a mattress with it but rather got the frame and mattress separately. But this frame is solid! I have had it for about four months now and it has not sagged or bent or squeaked this whole time. It also looks really good. I got a pretty cheep mattress off this site from another seller (premier futon mattress #B0006Z3UR4) to go with it and the metal does not poke through and I don’t feel the frame. I think it’s because it supports the mattress so well that even a cheap mattress can seem like an expensive one. It also folds out very nicely and easily fits two people. It does not sag in the middle and you can barely feel the center bar, although part of that will depend on the mattress too.
Basically I would recommend this futon, especially since it is so cheap! And I had no trouble with shipping. It took about ten days to get here and that is what they estimated so I’m not sure what the trouble was with the other costumer’s problem. I mean I’ve never had issues with Amazon’s shipping. Usually it gets there earlier than expected.
UPDATE 6/2/11
This futon is still working very well in my living room. It does squeak a little if you sit down hard on it, but it isn’t anything I am concerned about. I’m still very pleased with this product and would buy again.

|Not well designed.,
The futon looks very good, but if you plan on using it as an actual bed you sleep on daily. (other college students?) that doubles as a couch.
DO NOT BUY THIS ONE.
It looks good and works great for about 3-4 months, then the center hollow unsupported metal tubing starts to slowly bend from stress until the center is caved in.
I’ve personally resorted to reinforcing the bottom of my bed with wooden 2×4′s so its lost its functionality as a couch, but at least i can sleep on a flat surface now and not suffer from back pain.
Other reviews claims of it being hard or impossible to fold out are understandable but very exaggerated, its not a simple pulling upward motion to fold and unfold this product, but rather a pulling and lifting type motion. Is it different? Yes. Is it hard or impossible to fold out? No.
All-in-all its great if you’re going to use its occasional but for any sort of practical regular use, look at a different design. The only reason i gave this futon 2 stars instead of 1 star is because it looks good.

|Great Futon!!,
Great product!! The packaging was half the size of the item and delivery was free. This bed is metal, but from a few feet away you can’t tell. This futon does not tip due to the extra “t” bar that crosses the back and middle. This “t” bar is thick and has to be screwed into the other parts. There are rubber cushions on the arms so there is no worry about anyone hurting themselves. Assembly was easy once I figured what was left and right and all screws were there. It took me about an hour, while watching Spongebob with my son. The size is about a queen size and the frame is extremely sturdy. With the futon mattress and the frame, its the best sleep I’ve had in awhile. I’m glad I made this purchase.
