Nirvana FutonsStanford Futon Set - Full Size, Frame, 8" Mattress, Microfiber Sussex Fudge Cover

We bought this for an auxiliary guest house and love it. The size (full) is perfect for what we needed. It is extremely comfortable. What I liked most though was the quality of both the wood and the mattress. Each piece was well labeled and in perfect condition. The instructions were simple and clear. It went together quickly and looks great. One thing, a rubber hammer is useful. Now I need my wife to throw out all those spare chairs in the picture.

We removed our old l-shaped couch from our RV because the faux leather was just coming off in small pieces everywhere. We looked at all types of replacement RV couches and recliners everywhere. After removing our old set and based on the fact that we had 80" of room, we finally decided that the Stanford set sold by DCG stores would fit our needs. After placing my order thru Amazon, several days later I contacted Amazon with a request to upgrade the mattress. Amazon contacted the vendor and relayed our request. Allana with DCG stores contacted me and explained the differences in materials, athesitics and details about the construction. We decided on the upgrade after working with her. What a wonderful knowledgeable person she is to work with. Well since this went down without a hitch, everything arrived in about 4 or 5 days. The mattress came first. We waited until we assembled the frame (about 2-hours) which wasn't hard at all and then unpacked the mattress. Instructions say to let it sit for about 48 hours. Within 3 or 4 hours it looks fantastic. The frame is assembled except we haven't attached to the arms as we have to move them into the RV to do that for easier installation. We will install tomorrow morning.We are so excited for this alternative setup since the couch we had from day one was never comfortable as a lot of RV furniture generally is not. Another issue we were concerned about was overall weight. This option is heavy, but not as heavy as trying to fit a 3 seat theater type recliner/couch. We believe that is a cheaper option that looks great and will serve our needs for watching tv or taking a quick nap. Definite upgrade for our RV. Can't praise the DCG folks enough for the reasonably priced and quality pieces that we purchased on Amazon.

The mattress did not smell at all. The wood is real wood and overall fairly sturdy once assembled. It's just awkward for 1 person to change it from bed to couch.

The mattress is total quality. This futon is not only good looking, it is very comfortable. I highly recommend it!

Honestly, when I received the product in different shipments I was nervous. I didn't know what to expect. Laying all of the pieces out made it look like an overwhelming project. But once you go through the step by step instructions you can see the fruits of your labor take shape.Building the frame was super easy and the wood is excellent quality. I only had one issue during the assembly and that was with attaching the upper half to the lower half. I don't feel the instructions were very clear on that process. I had installed the screw hole covers before joining those two pieces and I had to pry those covers off in order to loosen the lower frame screws. This way, both halves could be joined. Removing the screw hole covers made me scratch the wood a little, but it wasn't all too bad.Apart from the small issue with assembly, the futon is very comfortable to lay on. I had some family stay a couple of nights and they mentioned how comfortable it was. They didn't want to get out of bed in the morning! I love this futon and I'm extremely pleased with the end result. One additional thing I would say is that the mattress doesn't smell very good whenever you receive it. It smells a bit like a barn. However, once you air it out for a few days the smell WILL go away. So no need to worry about that.Great product and I would recommend this to anyone!

Nowhere within product description or details was it explained that in order to get futon to fold into sofa position it needed to be used as a bed for awhile to break in. I would not have purchased if that was explained. I wanted it to be be used as a sofa for my living room and a bed when I have company,not visa versa. It is so thick and hard, it will not comform into sofa position. It is advertised in photo in sofa position. I have owned Nirvana futon sofa in past,and never had to sleep on first to be able to adjust into sofa. This one is made differently, but since the above was not explained,I had no idea it would not conform right away,and again,I would not have purchased if I did. I sent screen shots of other customers with same complaint,which by the way is in the Q&A section, to seller. My neighbor who is a big strong man, said this is no way going to fold. He went to his computer and found in Q&A. I just want by reviews. I am still waiting for a resolution on my behalf. I should receive a refund for the price of mattress,which according comparable ones on Amazon would be close to $300.If you do not advertise a product with full disclosure of what it needs to work properly,the information is misleading, and therefore as a customer I have a right to refund,as there is no way I can physically mail return this queen size mattress. I have sent my response to seller, sellers response is unwilling to refund. I also encouraged Amazon claims to require seller put the details regarding having to sleep on mattress for awhile to be able to soften to fold into sofa, in the item description, or remove seller from their site.Amazon had always been customer considerate according to customer rights. I am really hoping they will be in this case. I paid $737,and also paid in full when my c.c bill was due. This has caused a lot of frustration,financial stress. I have an empty frame in living room with mattress against wall. The outcome was in order to get refund the seller expects me to pay for shipping and insurance and physically take to ups,or have picked up. There is no way this queen size thick hard mattress can be boxed,and no way I can afford that. I am stuck with a mattress that does not function as should.And lastly,why is this item listed with four and a half stars with so many poor reviews. It should not be categorized as a high star product.
