Ugh - very difficult to assemble those slats, especially the back ones. Needed a lot of space and time. And be careful of which side is facing which - can be very confusing. Worst, three of the wood screws spun in their holes - could not apply any torque. Luckily they were on the bottom sides. Even is better.
Other than being a difficult assembly (I knew from other reviews this would be the case!), this is a fine daybed. We ended up using masking tape to stabilize the spindles since that was really hard keeping them in the holes while you put the rest of them together. I was worried about it peeling off the paint, but we used it sparingly and gently removed it. I also used tape in the holes in addition to the Styrofoam pieces to help them stay put. Dont expect them to go together the first time!
Since the bed has slats, each one has to be in place to put it together. The problem (for me at least) was that the slats did not have a snug fit. So every time I went to put the bed together all the slats fell out. If the slats fit snugly I would have put this bed together in an hour. It took me almost 3 hours. The end product looks nice.
Reasonable quality for the price paid.
For the most part assembly was pretty easy and hardware provided was very good. However.assembly of the slats, particularly on the back rest, was not possible using the instructions provided. Instructions state:
Insert stoppers (7) and guardrail posts (J) into the bottom guardrail (K) and push down until firmly in place.
Slide the top guardrail (C) onto the guardrail posts (J).
This involves placing (11) slats on top of pieces of foam in each of 11 loose slots on the bottom rail and then placing the top rail on top of this bottom assembly while simultaneously attempting to line-up the end of each of these slats with the corresponding slot in the top rail. Couldnt be done as the slats would be pointing in 11 different directions and constantly falling out of the bottom rail.
My solution was to first stick the slats in the top rail (the one without the foam stoppers) as this allowed greater penetration of the slats making them more stable. The bottom rail, with the foam stoppers could then be more easily lined up with the 11 slats. At this stage I then wrapped this still unstable sub assembly with masking tape, top rail to bottom rail, near each end. Taping is required since the instructions next step has you bolting the still loose backrest assembly to one set of legs at this time.An extra set of hands or, at the least, a box to support the opposite end of the rails and backrest would be helpful at this time.
Two more beds to assemble, but they should be easier now.
We bought this bed 3 months ago for our son bedroom. We were skeptical at first about its quality and design as we could not see it in person. But we were glad we did purchase it online anyway. The assemble was pretty smooth. My husband spent about an hour to put them together and he said the instruction was prettyclear and easy to follow , just take some time to figure out some similar pieces. My son who is 11 yrs old and he loves this bed very much since it is bigger than the twin bed he had before. It could fits easily for two small frame adults. The bed seems sturdy and pretty well made. The shipping was fast and on time. So far, we are happy with this purchase.
I love this bed. It was very reasonably priced, arrived in great condition and, with the exception of one bolt that wouldnt quite screw on properly, all of the hardware was present and in working order. It looks fantastic and we assembled it in one hour (it takes at least two people to put it together easily - there were actually three of us). I would definitely buy this product again.

Great Daybed - Great Value!
This is a very sturdy bed. It was easy to assemble. It is a substantial piece of furniture. We love it!
I like the daybed a lot
I like the daybed a lot, it took a while to put the bed together as some of the screws would not align.
Nice
The unit is very nice and attractive addition to our spare room as well as great for the company to use. Was fairly simple to assemble
Ok, but just barely

Nice once its assembled but not easy assembly

Looks great. Fairly straight forward to put together
Looks great. Fairly straight forward to put together. Feels sturdy - havent had company stay over yet to test it. Lol
When Finished its Good. Putting it together not fun.
