I'm truly not sure how this has any stars, possibly because it's not possible to give zero. Shipping was great “came earlier than expected “ 2 boxes, wasn't bad to assemble, that's because It came basically assembled…. But that's where anything even remotely good stops about this “couch” it's more like a small extremely solid futon that's cracks and thunks when you sit or lay on it. We bought this for my son's apartment in college, was misled by the reviews and pictures you will find. My wife literally put a pillow under her as I'm writing this because it's extremely un comfortable. Haven't slept on it yet and probably won't actually sleep when that time comes, the gaps where everything meets are solid wood, the hinges for the folding back feel like they will break at any moment, I'm literally sitting on the floor on a blanket and I am more comfy than I was on this brick they are selling for couch, please save your money and purchase anything but this, I know this sounds like sarcasm but I promise you it is not, if this was 25 dollars I would of gave it 3 stars as that's about what a cord of fire wood cost and that's about all this is worth. The picture I took is a size 11 shoe this thing is tiny as well, Do not buy unless you hate yourself.
