A few of the holes on the inside of the frame that are to attach the arms were not drilled all the way through the wood, so we had to use a drill to finish holes. The overall construction was good and the fabric smooth. We bought the blue velvet couch. The shade of blue is not a light as shown in the pictures. It's rather a deep-water marine blue. It's still a nice shade of blue. since it comes as a flat cube & weighs 118lb, we removed the box & took out the arms & hardware at the bottom of the stairs and then rolled it up the stairs after tying a strap around it. That's a 2-person job. The couch seating surface is a thin/firm surface, a plank with a little foam and fabric. I ordered a thick sherpa blanket to fold and lay across the sitting space & that helped in making it more comfortable for seating and to keep pets from scratching/tearing the fabric. I made up the futon as a bed with a roll of thick memory foam, a thick mattress pad and queen size sheets. A more suitable sheet size would be XLT. The bottom fitted queen sheet needed to be folded under the thickness of memory foam & mattress pad and was pretty comfortable for taking a nap. It's comfortable enough for guests & adult kids yet not so much that they won't want to leave : ) Overall, it was a good purchase for the money even if it only lasts a few years. Time will tell!
