Kodiak Full Size Futon with Storage Drawers - Home & Office Use

Assembly took about 1 hour but allow 2 hours if you are relatively inexperienced. Instructions are clear and you basically match up the color dots on the wood pieces (not sure how well this works if you are color blind, but the pieces are also numbered and those numbers appear in the instructions too). During insertion of the folding bed section into the frame, you need a helper. The rest of the assembly is an easy one-person job.The sofa-bed looks nice, the futon itself is plush and very comfortable. Overall appearance is hard to fault and matches description / photos.Only two minor points of criticism. The two holes pre-drilled in one cross-member were filled with wax. Easily scraped out so only a momentary inconvenience. The sofa-bed is prone to creaking - even when my 110 lb wife sits down on it. I might, at some future moment, disassemble the sofa-bed and use epoxy (such as JB-Weld) in addition to the bolts. The unit is sturdy and I believe the creaking emanates from the joins.The wood varnish and futon are 'gassing' which results in a not-unpleasant but noticeable odor. From experience this will dissipate over time.Overall this piece of furniture did not disappoint. The components are marked as 'made in Indonesia' which seems to contradict other reviews which claim 'made in America'. Yes, I would recommend to friends and family in need of a sofa-bed (possibly in a smaller guest bedroom?).
