Despite 3 dents and a spot of peeled paint I give it 5 stars.
I read reviews that complained about how complicated it was to assemble - I am a 69 year old lady who does happen to be handy with simple tools - assembled it all by myself. The instructions were simple A-B-C to follow. I laid out everything first to be sure that everything was present - there was, as well, an an extra of each screw/washer.
The instructions state that this is a two person task - for lack of a second person I just assembled what I could flat on the floor, then, used a stool or edge of a couch to prop pieces up so I could attach them.all install took me 1.5 hours
There were reviews which complained of bent or broken bars and rails. So, to keep the weight evenly distributed on the whole thing, I placed a piece of 1/4 plywood measured exactly the width/length onto it, then bought a 14 table leg and screwed it under the plywood right in the middle about 3 back from the front edge to keep the weight off the front rail.
Bought a twin size bed-in-a-box mattress and now have a beautiful and sturdy daybed in my den.No rattles, wiggling, nor squeaking at all!,really love it,worth my money
Easy to assemble, and, so far, sturdy.
