Okay, my major criticism about this product is that it uses about 2 million screws to assemble it and I simply didn't have the hand, arm, back and chest strength necessary to stand or kneel hunched over trying to coax those blasted things into the wood with a handheld phillips screw driver. Oh my God, it was exhausting and my arms hurt for a long while afterwards! I had to don two pairs of oven mitts to protect my hands while, er, screwing, and they were still very sore and as red as a baboon's butt afterwards. If there is a someone around who has that kind of bulk and strength, please have them help you do it! Other than that, I found assembling it was actually like putting a puzzle together and I enjoyed it very much. I took the advice of another purchaser and used masking tape to label all the pieces before attempting to assemble it and this was very helpful. A few observations that might assist others.
1. The lounger doesn't lounge back as far as I would have liked. I was hoping I could use it to sleep in a semi-elevated position when I have a flu or something to help prevent excess coughing due to congestion and drainage. However, at the lowest setting (notch) it is still relatively vertical so sleeping with it in that position wouldn't really be an option for me.
2. The frame, once assembled, is rather heavy. To convert it from bed to lounger, you must remove the futon, lift the seat portion and fold the footrest under the seat and then lower the seat. After you have converted the bed to the recliner, you must reposition/move the frame closer to where you want it positioned because it is now taking up much less space. Then you must position the futon on the chair and this is a little difficult. A futon is floppy and rather heavy and I end up doing some moving baled hay-type maneuvers to drag it onto the frame and position it properly. Personally, I don't mind because I only convert it on weekends or when I am home for any length of time. The rest of the time, work days in particular, I just leave it in the bed position to save time. To convert it back to the bed, you must once again remove the futon. If you have the frame against the wall when it is a recliner, which I do, you must first pull it away from the wall because when you lift the seat portion to pull the foot rest out from underneath, the backrest portion lowers. Once you have the footrest unfolded you then lower the entire frame to the floor and extend the footrest all the way out to form the bed frame.
3. Once assembled it is very sturdy and extremely comfortable to sleep on. It is low to the floor, though, so some might not appreciate this because it can make getting in and out of bed a little awkward, particularly if it is the middle of the night and you need to go to the bathroom. Again, I don't mind and a good night's sleep is worth a few idiosyncracies. The frame also looks nice when it is in the bed position. When it is in the recliner position with the futon in place you can't see the frame except from behind or standing directly to the side. It is comfortable to sit in but I find putting a small pillow behind the small of my back is helpful. Your butt can get a little sore after sitting in one place for a while but it's obvious what to do about that.
The learning curve is rather swift and once you get the process figured out it goes pretty smoothly and you hardly notice the bulk that is forming on your arms and in your chest!

Purchased for our guest room to replace a queen size bed, we wanted more open space when we don’t have guests as the room is also my office and our foster room. Assembly was fairly easy, with 2 people it took about an hour. Frame seems durable, and easy enough to change positions (though does take some finagling to position against the wall).
Bed position was tested by our guests right after setting up- we purchased the milliard tri-fold mattress and a mattress topper. Guests said it was comfortable and sturdy, though did comment that it sits very low to to floor.
Couch position is the default we use, we just fold the mattress so it’s doubled up on the seat part and cover with the quilt. It’s very comfortable and stable for two people to sit on. We have not tested sitting in the lounge position yet.
Photos of assembled frame, with our foster kitten using it as a jungle gym 😆.
