DHP Emily 71" Futon Sofa Bed Fabric

Box did not have much damage, any damage was fixed with tape. When I got the futon out of the box there was no damage. When I went to the compartment to get hardware, all the screws were missing! They had fallen into the couch. So I had to unhinge that side of the couch and shake it around while being careful of the back piece that folds down. Finally I get all the hardware and connect the two sides together again. I start putting hardware in and everything seems to be fine. I am Still skeptical about the longevity of this piece. All the legs are made out of extremely thin metal and are spot welded. The bolts do not go into the wood (bolts aren’t supposed to) but they are so short that it is a concern. Also the plates for the front legs were not square but the ended up working. Flipping the couch over by my self was also had me a bit worried. Since the sides are only connected by 2 hinges. As a fabricator I would have used 3 minimum, 5 would be best. The back rests do fold done a lot. I would only purchase this to put against a wall. You need to be careful with the fold down parts when flipping/ moving, as these are weak points. The couch seems to be sturdy and comfortable while used as a couch. I am 6ft 290lbs and I stood on the couch to hang up a poster. I also had my self and a my brother 6’3” 280lb sit next to me and the couch was fine. So the 600lb weight limit seems to be true. If I was to modify this couch I would have more support in the middle, more hinges or preferably make it one piece. All in all I am happy with this convertible couch. It is aesthetically Pleasing. Biggest gripes are packaging (screws falling in couch), trust in hardware.
