Nirvana Futons Eastridge Futon Frame - Queen Size (Frame Only), Solid Hardwood

My boyfriend and I searched for a long time trying to find a reasonably priced wooden futon frame. He was worried that whatever we bought wouldn't be sturdy enough. When this frame came in the mail it arrived in two boxes, my boyfriend put it together with a couple of tools in a about an hour and a half. He said the directions were very clear, and everything was labeled (do make sure to check the labels on the actual pieces, as they tell you for certain what goes where). The frame is solid wood, but there are no places where wood is connecting to wood without some sort of buffer. It has three different modes, and even with an extra thick futon mattress it adjusts easily. it doesn't creak, it doesn't wobble, and it looks great. This is better than what we hoped for, really excellent product!

So this FUTON is as expected - It is VERY well made , excellent craftsman ship , instructions are easy to follow and the parts are color coordinated . Do you're self a favor and buy a good Allen-wrench the one supplied will round off before the first piece is assembled . One person can put it together , although if you get the queen like we did the final assembly is easier with 2 people . We got this futon because it DID NOT COME WITH THE MATTRESS , the reviews were not good as far as sleeping comfort . So we went to Lowes and purchased 6 - 26 x 32 x 6 " lawn furniture cushions that were ON SALE for 14.99 each sell price was 59.99 each - yes we have to many pillows, but can you really have to many pillows ? We also purchased a queen quality air mattress for 149.00 for sleeping , it came out about the same price as the mattress would have. So Very happy with this product , I took one star off because there was 1 screw missing and i had to get one at Lowes that did not match and the Allen-wrench was a piece of you know what ****

I'm super impressed with the quality of this futon couch. Absolutely high-end furniture grade quality. Instructions could have been better, but they did the trick. It would have been tough to put together alone - I was lucky to have my wife help. Would purchase again if another was needed.Note the futon arrives in two boxes. I was worried when only one box arrived, and Amazon marked the order as 'delivered.' The second box arrived a day or two later.

The only complaint that I have is that the first time we sat on it. The prebuilt armrest support popped out the 3 dowels that were in there just fell out and ripped some of the wood off. I had to buy brackets to reinforce both sides so it could be sat on without popping out

I read that some people had issues with assembly, but it went fine for us, with all parts included. We accidentally reversed the two longest boards, not noticing that it specified which should be in the front and which in the back. They looked identical but we disassembled and reassembled just in case. The finish on the frame looked not that great in the photos but much better in person. The side shelves came in a separate box and were easy to assemble and I love their functionality and the choice you have whether to have them up or not. They look fine when down. We want to use this as a couch AND as a guest bed, so we decided to go with queen for our guests' comfort... but as a couch the queen mattress sticks WAY up high and is unattractive in my opinion. But it's not in a public space in our house so we're living with it. If you're waffling between queen and full, go with full is my advice. IF you're going to use it as a couch, that is.

I purchased three futons made by this company. The company traditionally supplies keys made of very soft alloy. Each of these keys gets destroyed in the middle of assembly process which makes it very hard to tighten the bolts. In one case the openings for the bolt were misaligned and one of the wooden pieces was chipped.

Great decision to buy this with pop up side table. I have never liked futon mattress so I bought a full size 6 inch memory foam mattress and I purchased a full size cover of my choice fits 6-8 inch foam. And wala, it turned out perfect. No buttons no lumpy stuffing. At first it didn't look like it would work but when I arranged the mattress on the couch I just pushed down on the back seat fold and it stayed. So happy with all of my choices. I am 73 year old widow, so I put this together myself no help, my love wasn't able to help me.

I bought this for my step son and he loves it!
