  • 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.

    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!

    Would you recommend having it delivered (have to pay a delivery fee of $99) or should we rent a van ourselves to transport it from IKEA to our home? Thanks in advance for the help!

    • @HelloDavid
      @HelloDavid  8 лет назад +25

      If you have enough hands (2 ppl minimum) to help carry it and the IKEA isn't too far away I'd just pick it up. That's what I did. I think it came in 3 boxes but they were all shrink wrapped together in one huge package, so don't be surprised as you'll most likely need to take apart the shrink wrap to carry it and fit it in the van.
      But it is a little heavy (~90lbs a box) so having it delivered isn't a bad idea either.
