I needed a sleeper sofa for my little studio apartment, but unfortunately, due to the layout of the building, standard SOFA sleepers wouldn't fit thru the door. I recalled 25 years ago, having a wood-frame futon...I realized that this was a perfect idea. However...the old school wood hippie futons are very difficult to come by. This frame is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Decent assembly, excellent materials, American made in Georgia, very durable, and when folded, it makes a great couch. I'm thrilled to have found it, and at such an amazing price!

This futon frame was simple to put together (took less than an hour and only 1 person). This is in a guest room for me so won’t be used very often, but my main concern was how sturdy it would be when laid out as a bed. I laid it out as a bed and rolled all around to both sides and there was no tipping, or lifting which was most important for me. So far it was a great purchase.

Great to get a DIY kit with clear instructions, all the parts, and quality materials. Took us about two hours to assemble but went very slow just to make sure we did not screw up. The instructions can be supplemented by an online youtube video that shows a guy assembling the frame from start to finish.

The frame is easy to put together with clear instructions. I had a sofa bought from a major chain store that had a frame made entirely of USB exterior grade construction scraps and I suspected it was gassing off Formaldehyde. So I threw out the frame and used the cushions on the KD futon frame. They fit great, it looks good and breaks down to moves easily. I did glue the dowel joints to make a strong frame. Great affordable solution to a problem and made in the U.S. win win.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the product. The only problem I've noticed is that it doesn't stay in position after setting the angle of the back part.

You definitely need a drill to put this together. The instructions are clear-ish. I had to redo one part because I had the boards with the wheels the wrong way. I also want to note that when I drilled the top part on the bottom part it did not line up perfectly. However, I managed to put this together by myself in around an hour and I have put together various easy furniture pieces before, this one wasn't much more difficult. It helps to have a decent amount of room to put it together as well. Once put together the quality was pretty good, the wood pretty sturdy and you definitely want a comfy cushion on top (if it's too thin you'll feel the hardness of the wood). The couch folds easily and I have it in my living room. For me it was cheaper than a couch and works well as a bed so it was worth it for the price. It's up to you to decide if you want a real couch that's more comfortable or if you want to pay less for "get what you pay for" replacement.

Made in the USA ... as far as I know. Exactly as described. Easy to assemble. Mind you my son-in-law put it together for me, but didn't seem to have any issues even with me rambling on and distracting him. A powered screwdriver was in use.No creakiness. The wooden boards run length-wise similar to a standard bench, which makes it more comfortable for sleeping, since they run the length of the body.It's super sturdy. My only complaint is the space between boards in the seat and back area is 3.5 inches and 4.5 inches in the middle (between the seat and back).In a perfect world the boards would be wider or there would be less space between them.The construction itself works perfectly well for general use as extra seating or an extra guest sleeping solution.For everyday use, some extra support such as cardboard or coroplast sheets may be needed to fill those gaps. I would also recommend a non-slip futon grip pad or yoga mat for the seating area to keep your mattress in place so it isn't slipping out.Fortunately, any futon mattress will work with this frame. And I do mean any, from a Japanese style floor mattress, to a cheap 6 in. futon mattress, to an expensive innerspring mattress, to whatever your heart desires.It is relatively easy to lift the back support beam into 1 of 4 seating positions from one side of the frame.It will fit into pre-formed grooves allowing your desired angle of comfort.If you have a heavier (thicker) futon mattress, you may need to remove the mattress to lift the back into the desired setting, physically move the frame back to where you would like it to be situated, and then place and adjust the mattress as necessary.I am a heavy person, weighing in at about 300 lbs with some back problems (spondylosis, osteoarthritis, etc.), living in a small apartment with limited space, and have found this to be a very viable solution to seating and sleeping arrangements.I actually prefer this over my standard full sized bed with a 12 inch foam mattress for sleeping.I have much less stiffness and more mobility after casually falling asleep on the futon watching a movie to sleeping on the bed that's supposed to support and align my spine.The futon mattress may need to be replaced from time to time, but this is a well crafted and sturdy frame that I expect to hold up for many years to come!Overall, I would recommend this frame over any other that is out there or I have tried in the past. And did I mention, made in the USA, enough said.

I am pretty handy and it took me about 45 minutes to set up. I am currently sitting on it and it doesn't squeak or groan. The metal futon frame I replaced it with was about 50$ less and basically squeaked the whole time we had it, requiring constant maintenance. We will see how this wood frame holds up, but I have high hopes.

I was a little alarmed at the very small size of the box which arrived. I wasn't really prepared for the amount of assembly it would require. However, the instructions were very clear and I was able to assemble the first time, correctly, with no issues. A very good product, well-built and solid.
