Full review of the IKEA FRIHETEN Sofa Bed is available here:
• IKEA FRIHETEN Sofa Bed...
The IKEA FRIHETEN is a sofa lounger that has a built in ottoman, storage under the lounge seat and can be used as a guest bed.
Most of the components of the IKEA FRIHETEN come assembled out of the box so the full assembly of the sofa is fairly straight forward. This video demonstrates the overall process.
If you have any questions about the assembly or the product itself feel free to ask them in the comments below.

Read the instructions which weren’t complicated, then watched your video, showing I didn’t need anyone to help. This 58 yr old grandma did it on her own. Thanks!

To all the people complaining, BRO you can just get a foam topper (full size) from Ross for like $40 and fit it under the chaise when you're not using it. Plus a cheap comforter to put ontop of the foam for like $25 at Target. And for stains / cleaning you can simply get a throw towel/cover which what you should be doing with any couch in the first place. This ain't rocket science!
