Kodiak Furniture Monterey Futon Set, No Drawers, with Barbados Base and Linen Stone Mattress

The media could not be loaded. First I’ll say this is a great futon. All my opinions someone else could disagree but I love it. Price good too. I researched. Didn’t want to pay a fortune for something that will get used maybe few times a year when guests stay. The mattress is comfy. Thick and firm support but soft too. Could use on floor if didn’t have frame. Now pictures. From pieces out of box to completed. Luckily the mattress was okay cause the wrap had a big hole in it. Sidebar delivery wasn’t great. Person dropped off at front door, no knock, no bell ringing. I was looking at tracking and found it was delivered. It would have been nice to know it arrived and maybe person could have helped me get into house. I got it dragged in and to guest room. I’m not a super strong person but I also put the whole thing together by myself. When they say two people probably good to have two, at least for putting arms together and setting back/seating section on. Then for putting mattress on which is Heavy. But I got all done. Not in one day, I worked off and on for several days. Picture showing wall is how far away had to be to put in laying down position. I got one of the anti slip pads too. There’s a video of unwrapping mattress and noise it made. Sounded like knocking or popping. Oh be careful as you get close to having all wrap off cause it just unrolled real quick at me. No harm, no injuries. Just surprising. Overall I’ll give a 5++. Now my complaint is I now can not get put into sofa sitting position. The frame without mattress worked fairly easy. It is a little heavy. I did put mattress on the correct way with part to be on seat on the seat. There’s a tag to tell you, because of hinges. When I attempt to set it to sitting I can see the mattress is bending where it should but I just can’t get it to go completely into sofa. I’ll have someone help me soon and hopefully it will work and that nothing is wrong with it. But if stays in bed position for now is fine. In conclusion I have to say this is really a great futon. I’ve had sofa beds before with horrible mattresses but never a futon so I’m pleased that this is so comfortable. My guest will have comfy sleeping time. Thank you if you read all that.

Assembly was easy enough, took a couple hours by myself, having someone to help at the end is pretty necessary though. The instructions are easy to follow, the quality of the materials is good, my wife and I found it to be sturdy and the first night of having it, I feel asleep on it with the cat.The only issue I ran into is that many of the larger bolts come with a metal cam dowel attached, and I think in the machining of one, it was incredibly hard to get it off. I had to use a lot of WD 40, players, and the allen wrench with my wife's help to get it unstuck. There are exactly enough parts included, I feel for the price, they could afford to give you a handful of spare parts just in case.It's made in the USA (some of it anyway), and it looks like the inspection standards are higher than most things you buy online. It's one of the pricier options on Amazon, but I feel it's worth it.EDIT: I have had this futon for several years now and it's held up great across a move and having a dog and cat. This will last you.

Nice solid and comfortable. Nice mattress with nice material to sleep on. But very difficult to reposition from a flat position to a sitting position on this item it takes two people. Not a futon that could be used by one person.

Love this futon! We searched for weeks - online and in store. I was wary to purchase it online, but am glad I did. It was super easy to assemble (though it does take two people) by following the video online. It is firm and comfortable, sitting and sleeping. Now, it’s only been a month so I cannot attest for the longevity of the futon. But for the price, I hope it lasts! The only downside, and I don’t know if this is all futons, you cannot flip the mattress. You have to have a certain side on the ‘seat deck’ because of where the springs are. I am afraid this might wear the mattress out faster.

This is a good futon. I am very happy with it it’s sturdy and well-made for the price and fairly comfortable. assembling it is a bit difficult so you probably need two people I did it by myself took me about 2 1/2 hours

I ordered it on Sunday, and it was delivered on Thursday by UPS. It arrived in three separate cartons: Frame, armrests, mattress. I wanted a futon for my sunporch, which is long and narrow, so furniture placement is important. I used Amazon Home Services to assemble it, and was able to select the day and time that was convenient for me. The price for this was about $88, and with tax it came to $95.00. Two people arrived within the scheduled time, and had it done in just over an hour. All the parts were included, as well as a little assembly tool. They also flattened the cartons and took them up to our condo dumpster. I was not charged until the assembly was completed and was also asked to do an evaluation. I would certainly use this service again! It sure made it easy and convenient for me! This futon is super comfortable! I had a flatscreen mounted on the opposite wall, so the grandkids will have some entertainment when they visit. It’s comfortable enough to nap on without pulling it out, and The fabric is very sturdy. After spending weeks researching futons, I’m so glad I got this one!
