We needed a day bed for when our daughter and son/in/law stay with us. Both are (for lack of a better wording) on the heavy side. We had looked at day beds locally at mattress stores, and Walmart(none looked adequate). I ordered this based on ratings(was a little worried about some reviews about missing parts). Parts were all packed well and numbered. The instructions were well illustrated and straight forward, came with a small ratcheting allen wrench that made it quick to assemble. All parts were there, even had spare bolts. I think it took about 20 minutes to assemble. The slats are rectangular bars that are spaced closely and appear to be VERY strong. I Bought a LUCID 8 medium firm memory foam/gel mattress on and it fits with more than an inch of clearance for the bottom roll out unit. The top of the daybed we are using an medium firm individually wrapped springs twin mattress that we bought locally and really like. I am impressed, this day bed reminds me of the good old made in USA products we had 40 years ago. Hard to believe it is made in China. Easy to set up.
A quality day bed at a value price
