Bed arrived early! Set up took 2 people and went fast. Only took 30-45 min. Not hard at all. Wood is sturdy. Slates kind of suck but dont they all? My 8 year old loves the trundle! Will need XL twin mattress for top. Best thing a bout this bed. cheaper than any store that i went to.
Good solid wood base to work with.Some of the directions are not clear. Could not figure out how to use the metal locking device looking at the diagram. Finally, I figured it out given the hollow circle indentations. l had to change a few things. I did not use the wooden slats provided. Went to my local lumber yard and had them cut 5/8 AC plywood sheets for the top bed andcthe trundle bed. I had read other reviews and used the same idea. I also went a step further and reinforced the inside corners with L shaped metal <. I feel there are some flaws with the mattress support design. I felt the extra metal could help with this support system. Overall, a really nice looking unit7
No complaints here. We bought 2 sets of these for our large bonus room which we use as an area for our grandchildren. It allowed this large area to have multiple uses while giving each of the children their own bed when they are here. Twin bed mattresses fit perfectly although be careful about the thickness of the mattresses. The thicker ones wont fit. We put it together first, measured the space available, and then bought the mattresses locally. It serves our purposes perfectly.
Very satisfied with the daybed. Color Is a very nice cherry. Frame appears to be quite sturdy. It takes two people to assemble but easy enough to do. Bed was shipped 4 days earlier than expected. Would totally recommend this daybed.
This is a great bed and my kid loves it. The only issues that I had was that there was a small patch of scratches on the top of both arms (head/foot) of the bed. I thought it was dropped in packaging but I do not believe so because the packaging was all in place with no damage to it. so I believe it was packaged this way. This was not a problem for me because the princess canopy from the ceiling drapes over this and no one notices this, but beware of this if this may be a problem for you.
This daybed, made in Vietnam, was exactly what I was looking for when I purchased it a year ago today (!) for a sewing/napping room. It came out of the boxes with two problems, one fixable, one chronic:
1) Fixable: One corner of the front trundle piece was cracked and split, obviously from box dropped in transit. The manufacturer wouldnt ship just the broken part, but referred me to . As always, service was good--offered to replace the entire bed if I returned all three boxes. The broken part was--of course--in the third box I unpacked. The packing was brilliantly donestyrofoam and parts fit like a monster puzzle. After laying out parts from the first two boxes, I couldnt hope to repack them for return. I gladly accepted a discount offer from and repaired the damage myself with marine epoxy, clamps, sander, and spray paint.
2) Chronic: The bed has a strong musty odor which I expected would eventually dissipate, but after a year is as bad as ever. The bed frame is labeled California 93120 Compliant for Formaldehyde Phase 2. Perhaps the bed frame is, but I wonder if that standard applies to the plywood slats. Ive tolerated the unpleasant odor because the room isnt often used, but after sleeping on the bed the last three nights, either the smell or the bed has to go. Today I took the bed apart. Except for the inside of the front and rear rails that support the slats, the bed frame pieces (wood, not particle board) have a smooth finish coat, in my opinion unlikely to be the odor source. The slats, however, are lightly sprayed and not well sealed with paint. I removed all the slats and stacked them in a warm place to test for odor. The bed and trundle frames stayed in the room awaiting the sniff test. Ill definitely replace the plywood slats with real wood (incense cedar if I could afford it) or worst case, repaint the entire bed. Buy American.
Update: August 19, 2017
Decided to work on existing slats rather than buying new. First I wiped down the entire bed with 50% vinegar/water. With a narrow roller, I applied water base Kilz primer to inside surfaces of front and back rails of bed and trundle that werent well-finished. Then on to the main objective, which was to prime and paint all edges and both sides of slats. A PVC frame from the garden was helpful to lay the slats on for drying. I did not remove the woven tape that holds the slats together. After the primer dried, I rolled water base Kilz paint on all slat surfaces and let them dry for three days. The mildew-y odor is gone, replaced by very faint scent of fresh paint which will probably fade with time. Happy to say I like the bed again.

Just what I wanted.
Sturdy and great for the cost
Sturdy and great for the cost. Comes in two boxes so make sure you get both before you open them.
Happy with the bed after eliminating odor. See review and update.
