Good buy for your money. Directions are easy to read and you are able to assemble it by yourself, if you like to struggle, like I do. The frame is sturdy and my 6 year old son loves it! He likes climbing up the ladder and during the day we sit on the futon and play games comfortably. Just a few dislikes. Once the NEW futon mattress is on, it is difficult (by yourself) to get from a flat position to an upright sitting position. I believe the mattress just needs to be broken in a bit though. The whole frame does need to be enough away from the back wall so the futon lays flat. Lastly, while sitting/sleeping on the bottom if the person on the top bed moves it shakes the whole thing. But these are minor issues in my mind. I didnt want to dish out a bunch of money on this particular item since the whole purpose for us buying this is just to have a little extra room for my family when they visit. It is beautiful and functional.
