DHP Durable Metal Grey Futon Couch Bed Frame

I searched everywhere for a frame and took a gamble on this cheaper one with my expectations low. I'm very impressed and I love this frame, I was able to assemble it by myself as a single not strong person. Some tips for people struggling with assembly from what I learned:You WILL NEED:-An electric drill. Magnetic bits help.-A clamp, if assembling alone.-Pliers, to hold the nuts still while tightening screwsThe wood screws DO fit in the frame panels but you need to have the frame laid flat on the floor and put all your weight on your drill to drive them in. Don't try it any other way, it's impossible. You will need a clamp to align and hold some pieces together while screwing if you're doing it without help. Another tip, ignore the instructions telling you to add the mattress holder brackets last and do that before you attach the panels to the frame as you'll also need a lot of force to drive in those screws.Definitely the best thing I've ever bought for my apartment, it's high quality, looks nice and is a perfect couch alternative if you have cats while also being able to turn into a guest bed.

Great product. Easy to assemble. I find it durable. I'm using it as a temporary bed and couch at a home I'm staying in for the next 2 months. If I could take it with me when I travel back to the Midwest, I would. I may just buy another one along with the mattress I purchased to go along with it.

The construction of the product is questionable at times. Things like misshaped screw hole sizes were an issue while assembling the piece together. Assembly must be done carefully, as the welding for some of the metal parts is not strong.However for the cost of the product, I think these are all very reasonable expectations.Despite this, I received great customer service with the DHP team. Tesia assisted me with replacement parts in order to get my unit back in shape and working, and I’m very happy with getting support with parts replacements.

Alright so, we went into this pretty optimistic. the box itself was packaged I’d say very well. organized, labeled, wrapped with plastic and spaced out with cardboard piece’s. decently heavy box, should have two people to carry it upstairs unless you wanna throw your back out. Now to the building process; the directions were a little hard to read but that’s how almost all these build it yourself amazon products are. The hardware pieces were organized perfectly in a way i haven’t seen before. They aren’t just thrown mixed together in a box, but individually spaced in plastic on a single cardboard piece for easy finding of each screw. MAKE SURE TO TAKE YOUR TIME ON EACH STEP. trust me, you don’t wanna tighten 4 screws in a cramped spot and have to restart. One complaint is some of the metal poles you need to screw pieces together into are too small. Directions say not to use a power drill, but using on a very low torque should be fine, and will save a lot of headache trying to hand screw metal on metal (if that makes sense). after 3 hours, we finally got it completed! Luckily we received an used mattress from some family and it fit perfectly on the frame. i find it easy to fold from couch, to bed, as they include handles that can be screwed on. it feels sturdy to sit on and has some decent space for at least three people and it still doesn’t feel cramped. I personally like how the back piece is a bit higher, so it doesn’t feel all small and like a child’s seat to sit on despite being lower to the floor than a couch or sofa would be. Overall, i don’t find it cheaply made like some people have said, you get what you pay for. Don’t buy a $70 frame and expect it to hold over 3000 pounds, it’s perfect for a hang room or bedroom for a group of teens or young adults like myself.edit: dropped some stars because the metal on the seating part broke and now you can fall through if you sit in a certain spot. not to mention to can feel the metal bars that are super uncomfortable to sit on. honestly not worth it.Edit 2: all the bars are completely breaking and popping off now, very disappointing
