The seller sent both boxes so it was obvious they were not new but had been returned. (The first was missing parts and the box was badly torn and sealed with tape, the second was opened and re-taped with less barbarism but still in bubble wrap) and neither came with instructions. Nowhere in the purchase information was it indicated that it was a return. In general, its use is quite intuitive, press the joint "buttons" and move the legs where you want. This design makes it an object type that can be used in a single position, otherwise you'd be spending all your time moving individual joints. as an option to use the sofa as an opportunity. It's small so you can move it around when you don't need it. Basically it does what it should.
