Kodiak Furniture Monterey Queen Size Futon Set In Butternut Finish, Suede Navy

The mattress arrived (note that it shipped in 3 containers- arms, frame, mattress- all delivered on different days) on June 12... it's now June 19 and I can barely tolerate the smell coming off the mattress. I'm not one to complain but this is terrible.When the mattress arrived my husband and I unrolled it- it was curled up like a Hostess Ho-Ho and stuffed into an 8' long shipping box, the entire thing wrapped in plastic and secured with heavy duty strapping tape. We then unrolled it and put it on the futon frame. The smell was overpowering but this wasn't our first rodeo with shipped furniture and cushions, so figured it would dissipate shortlyWell, it's 7 days later and I can't abide to be in the same room with it without a window fan going on exhaust to suck out the strong odor. It's in my office, too, where I work all day so it's nauseating. The smell is a sharp, acrid tang that leaves an almost soapy taste in my mouth. By the time I'm done working at 4:00 my lips and tongue feel like they are stinging, so I'm probably allergic to the chemical used to treat this thing. I have a small house with no room as it is but if I had the space I'd move the mattress somewhere else until the stink is gone.So please, be warned when you purchase this and allow for ample time for the smell to abate. I'm hoping by the end of the month I can tolerate it enough to actually sit on it for more than a few minutes. I tried Febreeze but that only helped until it dried and then I think it made it worse.Another irksome thing is that the plastic grommets used to hold the mattress cover on can be tough to lay on, so I recommend putting a cover down instead of laying directly on the mattress. If you don't it's kinds of like laying on the flat side of a Lego (or so my husband has told me who took a nap on it yesterday).But to leave this review on a bright note, the frame itself is gorgeous and very well built. It feels solid and I'm not exactly a petite person, so the few times I've used it as a couch I didn't feel like it was going to break or anything.Not sure I would buy this again, however, just because of the problem with the mattress.

This is a very sturdy futon. It isn't hard to put together but it is time-consuming. Expect to take two or more hours. It is especially difficult alone, but not impossible. I am happy with the way it looks, how sturdy it is, and the overall comfort of the mattress. What I do NOT like is that the video shows it is very simple to push at the seam and lift the back and fold it right up into a sitting position. That's a joke. Two mornings in a row, I've tried to do that and it doesn't budge. I've had to drag the very heavy mattress off of the frame, fold it up, and then lug the mattress back into place. It takes me twenty minutes and is not safe to do in your bare feet - trust me on this. I'm going to use bar soap and try to lubricate the joints where the frame slides up and down. I am going to try using ratchet tie-downs to lift the back end while I move the front side and see if it can be done without moving the mattress completely off, but I'm not hopeful.

This felt like a quality product - very durable and heavy. It was easy to assemble. My kids were messing around and the leg broke which we had to fix with an L bracket. Also I was disappointed to see that the mattress is just compressed fillers inside so I was not able to take it out and use a mattress cover on it. I wanted to be able to take the cover off and wash it when necessary but there is no way I would be able to take that messy mattress filling out or put it all back in again. I will have to get a duvet for it to save the microfiber material from stains or dirt. Also after 6 months I can say it isn't the most comfortable thing to sit on - we haven't slept on it yet.

I got this for my son to have when I visit him. He told me it was easy to assemble and I slept on it and found it be very sturdy and comfortable. If I had a spare room in my home I would buy another one. This a decent price for a GREAT queen bed!

Assembly was a little challenger but online video cleared that up. Came in exactly how it looks on line and most important it is very comfortable to sit in and to lie down on.

We ordered the futon for our remolded office- wanted a place for visitors to sleep comfortably. The deliver was delayed a bit, but the we were kept informed at each step. The frame arrived prior to the mattress, but that was not a problem- it gave us time to assemble the frame and figure out where to place it in the room. This product has exceeded our expectation. Highly recommend.

Overall, this is a great futon. I really like the thicker mattress it comes with. I will say that it is very difficult to go from bed back to couch. Even with two people. I’ve watched the video and it definitely is not as easy as they make it look in that video.

As long as u follow the directions it's easy to assemble, takes 2 people. It's sturdy & comfortable. Highly recommended this futon.
