<p>So I bought a futon for my dorm room (ill be moving in tomorrow). Should I leave it in the box and build it in the dorm when I move in or should I build it before I move in?</p>
<p>I’d leave it in the box. Building it could perhaps turn into a social activity if you have a roommate. At the very lease in a box it’s easier to transport.</p>

<p>The logistical complexities of building a futon while its still in its box is ridiculous. I’d be impressed if you manage to pull that off.</p>
<p>I recommend you pull it out of the box while your located in your dorm room, then proceed to build it.</p>
<p>C’mon StraightsJacket, apply critical thinking. One can safely presume leaving it in the box is associated with transportation given the fact the previous sentence had the verb “moving”.</p>
<p>I’d leave it in the box, too. It’ll take up less room in the car when it’s boxed up.</p>
<p>Leave it in the box. It might not fit in the elevator if you build it beforehand.</p>
<p>Leave it in the box…trust me…you don’t want to be moving it and have the backing snap shut on your hands.</p>
