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.

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.

Bought frame to replace a worn out wooden one. Easy to assemble if you have some basic do it yourself experience. Owning a rachet and metric sockets made the work go quickly. Product is light weight and easy to move from wall. Comment on unusual spring stiffness does not apply if the unit is used regularly. Will not stay in one place on a hardwood or tile floor. Need something under the legs.

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 2x4'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.

This a very nice looking futon frame. It arrived earlier than estimated date. It is made out of metal but looks like wood frame with dark brown color. The only problem with this frame is with the assembly instruction guide. It is all pictorial and hard to understand. It took me 1.5 hr to assemble because I had to undo couple of time center support with the spring as the pictorial instruction was not very clear. Otherwise it would have taken me only half and hour. Other than that, it a good sturdy frame. I found this frame through [...]

I'm really impressed with this frame. It was really easy to put together, despite the instruction manual being all pictures. Once you figure out the correct orientation for the hinges, the rest is very very self-explanatory and easy to follow using the picture guide.

The two hooks on the front are PERFECT for preventing the mattress from sliding forward when turned into a couch. This was a major inconvenience of my last frame, as the mattress would constantly slide after about 20 minutes of sitting. Also, the converting between bed and couch mode is really easy and smooth, unlike a wood frame that takes a lot of effort to fold into couch mode. The metal springs are well oiled and really responsive with minimum strength required.

This frame is super solid and looks great! I do have to agree that it was semi-complicated to put together (as the directions is just a series of 5 or 6 smudgy pictures) but it wasn't impossible. I am very happy with my purchase.

This was a relatively easy set up and it was very sturdy. Though made of metal it was rather stylish as well.

I purchased this futon with a mattress. The futon is lower than I expected and a section of the arm was broken. While the piece was able to be fixed, I did voice my disappointment to the company and was given a small refund on my purchase. I appreciate the company acknowledging my concerns and doing right by their customers. Now my son loves the futon vs a bed in his room so it's ok with it. So it works for us in the end.

I ordered this futon for my husbands "man cave" I wanted black, I wanted flat arm rest, and I really like the extra supprot beam in the center of the seating part of the futon. When the box arrived - it was banged up quite a bit and there were a few holes in the box. I was instantly worried and so was my husband when he saw the box. But we opened it up and layed all the parts out - and we were only missing a couple of screws - which were easly purschased at our local hardware store. the futon is up and is quite comfortable. we have sat on it and like it very much. Our 3 dogs like it also :) before this futon was bought - all 3 of them fought for a place in his recliner:) so we are "very pleased with this purchase from us:)
