Sage Convertible Sofa Bed in Umber

As of now this is my first looks review since this item doesn't have any other reviews. I'll update durability/comfort/etc at a later point when I had it longer.

Sofa arrived 7 days after ordering. It would have gotten here yesterday but my cell phone was dead and UPS freight couldn't get a hold of me to arrange delivery. This might belong in seller profile (stacks and stacks) but I believe this product shipped directly from the manufacturer so somewhat relevant.

Product arrived in 3 boxes. UPS was nice enough to drop it off at my garage. I knew it was only curbside so I was great-full. Again, this was just my driver being nice and helping me out (he said he couldn't bring it inside) so might not apply to you. However, each of the 3 boxes was easily moveable by 1 out of shape guy. I bought furniture mover coasters but didn't end up using them. If you are like me and afraid you can't move 100 pound boxes (not sure weight) by a $10 furniture coaster you can use on cement/tile/carpet (basically whatever you have). I can personally vouch for those.

Smallest box had the arm rests. I bought that in first because it was smallest. Middle size was the storage box thingy. Big box was the mattress. Bring them in that way one at a time. Unpack one, get rid of packaging, bring in the next. Don't forget to have some beer on hand!

On the box frame the bigger bar goes on the back. Place the cushion on and align the attached metal bar to the frame. I'm not sure if there is more than one way to attach. If in doubt, the bottom of the front part of the main cushion has straps for the front. I looked around for the screws you unscrew them from the frame and screw in the bar easily.

Attaching the arms were harder. I thought you had to pick up the base and try to slide it on. That was impossible for me. Finally, I tilted the sofa back at 90 degrees, slid the 2 sides on, and up-righted the sofa. I sat on each corner to make it "snap". I hope it's on right.

It's a beautiful futon with an attached mattress so you won't be replacing the mattress. This should also mean it won't go flying around like other futon mattresses. It's nice and firm, which I was looking for. The storage part is like 8" tall. Perfect for pillows, blankets, etc. I don't know what color "umber" is so for anyone with any questions it's a very light brown. I bought a chocolate ottoman and that's going to be too dark.

First impressions Would I recommend? Yes. See how comfortable it is after sleeping on it for a week though. And see how long it holds up. I'm hoping it holds up because I really like this futon.
