Thin futon mat atop this beautiful piece brings elegance to floor sleeping. Looks much better than just a futon thrown on the bedroom floor. I dont use the legs, just the very thin mat atop the beautiful wood base allows for air circulation and a serene look. Beautiful
This has worked well. It was easy to assemble and perfectly lined up. There were instructions in English included, but assembly was pretty intuitive anyway. A few extra tools and bolts in case you lost something. We are using it for a hybrid foam mattress, and someday it will likely get used as a daybed. Solid purchase, no complaints.
The manual I got was in another language other than English, but I went by the pictures. Struggled a bit to get the whole piece set up. The sturdiness is a bit on the am I going to break it side, but it managed. The gaps do not bother me and do feel the cooling effect it supposedly gives off, I dont find myself uncomfortably hot. The gaps are about two fingers held together. Had no problems with set up or discomfort. Though I will say the dark brown stain smelled a bit fresh, but was not overbearing. I only plan to keep it on the first set of legs and could not write for the second. Its nice for what it is.
Very easy to assemble. Directions are in Japanese but the pictures suffice. Reasonable shipping time coming from overseas, I think my wait was a week on the east coast. Living on the west coast it would have been sooner. I wasnt happy with other slat frames because theyre full of complaints that they broke easy. This frame is sturdy. To the reviews complaining about the slats being uneven when installed: I believe you need to be mindful when screwing them in. We took our time and theyre even, but they can get crooked if not screwed evenly because the holes are large to allow room. I bought 2 of these to adjoin as a king size, and it is doing that flawlessly. One more thing to say: they ship extra foot pegs then just 6 per frame. So in the pictures, it can be stacked higher by 2 more pegs. I like it lower so we only used 1 peg. Very happy.
You need to be really careful putting this together. Loosely fit all the screws so you can get a consistent fit and align the slats. I had to tighten one side before I tightened the other so I could adjust them. If you dont, itll seem like the parts dont fit.
Overall: this is exactly what I wanted and Im quite pleased with the sturdiness, ease of assembly, and looks.
My one complaint would be there was a small dent in one of my slats from transport, but it is so minor that Im not that concerned with it. Packaging to protect it was so thorough that I wouldnt even blame the company. The package was bubble wrapped inside and out and very secure.
Very very happy with the purchase. Googled the English instructions and they came up immediately. Theyre also listed on the listing below product details. Perfect!!
I love this futon platform, perfect for a twin-sized shikibuton (Japanese futon). Its easy to assemble, beautiful to look at and sturdy enough to seat up to 400 lbs. I also like its height which is perfect if you lie down and get up from it. I used it as a temporary bed for about 6 weeks and continue to keep it in my living room as a seating option. Highly recommend.
The frame was very well packed. Each piece was wrapped to protect the wood from rubbing. It all came in one box that was wrapped in bubble wrap. Each board is evenly stained and gorgeous. The frame filled my room with a natural wood smell. It was very easy to put together. I especially like how easy it would be to disassemble when moving. The directions were very easy to understand. The frame is sturdy and its a shame my mattress covers its beauty.
The only flaw was one board clearly split during the manufacturing process but it was patched up with care. Its a testament to the culture of the Japanese people. If this frame was manufactured in the US, the board would have been shipped as is.
This frame was definitely worth the price and I would recommend buying it to anyone looking for a solid, beautiful frame.

Not the sturdiest but perfect for a Japanese futon
