This is a solid, fairly well/designed bed with a serious flaw Its not terribly hard to assemble, but you need to know what youre getting into.
The slats in the headboard, footer, and side frame (11 on the side and 8 each on the head and foot, for 27 total) have been stained, but were so poorly milled/trimmed that they were unsafe. The rounded edges of the wood were so full of splinters that they required immediate repair. Lifting these three large parts out of the box with a bare hand resulted in blood. A child would put their hand on this bed (a reasonable possibility, as the flaws are on parts that sit 12/24 inches off the floor) and would end up with a tiny hand full of painful splinters. The staining process seems to have essentially loosely glued the splinters in a fixed position, sharp and dangerous to the touch. Over 20 of of these slats were so rough and had such significant protruding pieces of wood that we had to sand them all down by hand to get to a point where it felt safe. It took a long time, was a lot of work, and removed the stain.
So, if you buy this you will absolutely have to sand it down for safety, and then you have to choose between re/staining the 3 large parts yourself (another time/consuming chore, and youd have to purchase and match the stain) or live with a bed that has large parts of the wood stain sanded off.
If the manufacturer can change the assembly process to insure the wood is smooth and safe, this would be a solid 5/star item. Its nice/looking, otherwise easy to assemble, and solidly designed. Without changes, though, I cannot recommend it to anyone except someone with lots of extra time and the hardware to sand/trim the wood and restain it to match what they did at the factory. Not easy to put together.
Very difficult to return I have bee on the phone up to and hour several times and nobody answered my calls Im a nurse and I dont have that kind of time to wait on the phone. Thank you Better directions.
Love this day bed, havent completely set up yet. I just expanded the mattress and they said give it 48 hours. I bought an 8 inch mattress and worried because some recommendations suggested 10. Im glad I bought 8 inch, 8 Inch Memory Foam and Innerspring Hybrid/Mattress / Medium/Firm Feel / Twin. I like to see the design of day bed and feel the 8 inch is perfect but judge for yourself with pictures. Cant wait to add mattress protector and spread to bed. I assembled this by myself and found the directions and assembly quite easy to follow. Cant review the long run yet but so far loving it and would recommend. Very nice.
Easy to assemble! Took me like 30 minutes. Way larger than I anticipated. Thats my fault, make sure you measure the area. Longer than an actual twin mattress, But I can fix that with more pillows. Not sturdy at all. I will have to inform everyone who sits on this to not plop down.
This was my second purchase of this daybed. Unfortunately one of the pieces arrived damaged. (see picture) I think someone tried to correct the damage but it should not have been shipped. Would definitely buy again.
5stars for customer service We ended up w/a different frame and I was unable to cancel this one. Their customer service was able to interrupt the delivery and we will be getting a refund. (If we dont I will update this review I did not get the product because we needed something immediately, but I was very pleased with how they were able to help us out Thanks.

Daybed
The daybed is fine, but the workmanship with the stain leaves much to be desired. Also not sanded as well as it should be. Good for its value.
Mostly well/made, but dangerous flaws require lots of work

Overall kind of a cheap piece of furniture
