DHP Andora Coil Futon Sofa Bed Couch with Mid Century Modern Design - Grey Linen

For the money, this little couch is great!We bought this for a convertible couch for our kids playroom in the basement. We have four kids 6 and under so I didn’t want to spend a lot of money but wanted something solid.Assembly: super easy. My husband is a plumber and über handy with all things so this went together in a snap for us. The kids loved helping turning all the Allen wrenches.Directions were straightforward. All the hardware was present and accounted for.Fabric: color was as described. We have the dark navy blue. I really like it. Should hide stains pretty well. It’s not the most amazing quality fabric but it’s not too soft and def. not rough or scratchy.Comfort: this sofa is not too hard, not too soft. I was expecting it to be super stiff and uncomfortable, but it’s really quite nice.I’m 5’6” and the seat cushions come right to the back of my knees. So this couch is a bit low to the ground but that’s perfect for our needs. My husband is 6’2” and he thought is was too low, naturally. The back of the couch hits me at the top of my shoulders so to rest my head would require me to totally stretch my neck back at like an 80 degree angle. Overall, I think it’s a comfy couch.Functionality: It is a lighter weight sofa so I can move it on my own around the room or to pull out to adjust it to a bed. It’s super easy to adjust the back sections down for the bed.

Now that the futon is in place, we are using it and enjoying the way it looks. It's quite comfortable to sit on if you've got some pillows to put on it.The only downside was that it was quite work-intensive to put together. It's heavy (which helps the end-product to be sturdy, I know!), so simply moving the box into position, getting it all ready to assemble, took some effort. Not for frail people, I guess you could say. And there are many screws and nuts that have to be maneuvered into position, sometimes at awkward angles, to get it all together. Seems like it sometimes required 3 hands to put one bolt/nut/washer in place through two structural elements. Much easier if you have a small team of experienced furniture assemblers! We did... there were three of us there, and we did a little tag-teaming to get it done. But it's a good, solid piece of furniture to sit on. The fabric is attractive and seems quite sturdy and comfortable. Futon (fold-out) function works easily. Seems like a good piece for the price.

This is a well engineered product. Once I put it together, It was very sturdy and the fabric was nice and tight all around, exactly as pictured. The backs clicked nicely to put it flat out with the two fold out legs in the back, hidden byzippers. And clicked nicely to put it back in sofa mode. The only negatives are it was tedious to put together and took me 2 1/2 hours, even though the directions were accurate. One hole didn’t line up but I eventually coaxed it into place. And it is too firm to sleep on for me. But I expected that. They did say it was firm.I did put a twin foam mattress I had on it and slept very well. Overall I am very pleased with the purchase. I was exactly what I needed at a very reasonable price.
