Novogratz Tallulah 83" Memory Foam Futon Sofa Bed, Mustard Yellow Velvet

This is a GREAT buy! Especially for the price. I love the color and the look. I’ve never built anything in my life like this, and I did it all by myself, so I’d say it really wasn’t hard at all. I read the reviews and was unsure, but I do not regret buying it. A lot of reviews said it was very hard, and that is true. It’s not the most comfortable thing in the world, but to me, it’s not a big deal. I’m just happy to have a place to sit in my small apartment living room.

I would highly recommend this couch as it is stylish, functional, and comfortable. However, it can take a while to assemble and the box that it comes in is very heavy. I had the FedEx guy bring it right up to the door and help me across the threshold. If it had been left outside, I would have needed someone to help me. Being on my own, it seemed like a monumental task, however, sit down and read the instructions for a few moments. It is not hard to assemble, but you have to think about things such as putting the arms on the right way round, similarly with the legs. You don't want to have to redo it so think! Some of the screws are ill fitting and literally will have to be forced a little, this is common with self assembly items from China. There is a useful video on YouTube that will help you also. Don't get overwhelmed. It's very easy. If you are doing this alone and depending on your fitness level, you may need help standing it up right when it's assembled. I also recommend that you Scotchgard it to protect the fabric. Overall, I am absolutely delighted with this purchase, it is great value for money and looks amazing. I would be happy to sit or sleep on it and actually put it into a guest sitting room where others will really enjoy it.
