DHP Aiden Futon Frame, Black

It took me about an hour to set up (interrupted a few times by the phone). But the set up wasn't hard. You will need a wrenches or slip-joint wrench. One is provided with the allen wrench but it's useless. It's not complicated and everything has stickers on it to tell you what's what. The drawings are a little confusing at first. It came in a 3'x3'x6” box, well packed an undamaged. I bought this with a 6” mattress and it's great. It's a little creaky but not much more than any normal metal futon frame. I got it because I wanted a futon that had a lot of sitting room since I like to either lay down or sit cross-legged while I study. Overall, I would say that it's a great value for the price. Perfect for college.

I'm 60 years old and bought this for the guest room to turn into a bed. I assembled the entire thing myself and had little-to-no problems. The instructions were pretty good with only a little confusion as the pictures didn't always show the best angles in which to hold some bars that would be attached, but I figured it out through common sense. It's pretty sturdy and holds the heavy 8" mattress well. Our guests sleep very comfortably they say, and it's a nice to look at too. I recommend this frame even if you have funds to buy something more expensive. There's no reason. The only drawback, and this is minor, is that the mattress sits over the edge of the frame by about 12 inches. This is normal for any futon, I think. So you can't sit on the edge of the bed like on a conventional bed else it tips and you might find yourself on the floor lol. If you sit on the bed you have to sit back farther if you're tying your shoe. Other than that, I'm happy with it and don't regret anything.
