The video of the woman assembling this is a bit misleading. Yes I was able to easily assemble this by myself I absolutely needed help getting the giant box into my house, getting the couch out of the box and then getting the main piece up stairs. They dont show what leads up to her easily screwing things together once its inside. This is the first time I bought furniture that was delivered unassembled and delivered by the mail man, not furniture delivery people who carry it to the room it was purchased for, so I hadnt considered the impossibility of getting it upstairs alone. There is not a single hand hold on the main futon piece.
Anyways, now that its done I do like it. Its attractive and easy to use. Not soft like a bed by any means and nearly as narrow as a twin mattress when laid out, but it should do the job nicely for the TV room Im setting up.
EDIT: Ive been using this for a few days now and Im really pleased with it. I think its comfortable for sitting (with an ottoman to put feet up on) and laying on it couch style. Ive not used it as a sleeper. It would be five starts from me if it handles on the back and bottom to move it.
Requires two people of going up or down stairs
