I was really worried about ordering a large piece of furniture to be delivered by UPS, but needed a cream-colored futon that could easily be set up in my basement family room. This is absolutely an amazing piece of furniture for the price - it came packaged so well - was a perfect cream - light beige color - no tools needed (other than a pair of scissors) to put it together - and it is so comfortable ! And you can turn it from a couch to a bed with just a simple lifting of the seat cushion. An awesome deal for a piece of furniture that no one will believe came in a box !! Definitely recommend this purchase !!
