Shalimar Metal Futon Frame

I wish Overstock could get some more of them because I will soon have two daughters in college and these futons are perfect for that first apartment.

The packaging was damaged. Cosmetically the futon looks fine however, after puting it togther and opening the bed, the bed frame rubs against the frame on one side so I had to make some minor mechanical adjustments like bend the brackets a little so it it wouldn't rub and scratch the outer frame. We also notived that the two hooks used to keep the bed frame together when opening the bed fall off.

I ordered this for my daughters bedroom and was able to assemble the futon myself which was great because I am not very good at that sort of thing but it was very easy. Great price for a great deal!

The futon frame is terrific! We had to get a new one because our old one bent in half. This one has an extra bar of support and stronger clasps in the back. What a great product! Please give yourself some time for assembly...that was the most difficult part.

I'm overall happy with the product, but because of the poor assembly instruction, it took me extra long. That one page, copy of copy of copy type of print was very difficult to make things out with. One of the side panels was already bent when I opened the package but there is no problem in functioning and it's not visible once I placed my futon.
