NOTE in 2016 I paid 186.00 prime and it was 5 stars for that price. For 240.00 plus its only 3.5 to 4 stars as it is easily marred. Mine look very nice after 18 months, still it has some scuffs. If I had little kids it be all scratched up.
I have some ideas why people could not build this, for me it was very straight forward.
I laid everything out on a sheet of plywood that I set on two saw horses to give me a large table. I also used two 40 clamps. I built each section by myself and had the entire thing complete in 60 minutes. With a second person using this method using the second person to get all the sub parts togehter it would take be maybe 30 minutes. Of course I do this stuff all day, someone coming in with zero skills its a 2 hour job even with the tools I mention and get a second person.
I am a woodworker, I am thinking some tried to build this on the carpet or even worse straght up and down and not laid flat. . Yeah doing it that way would be nearly impossible, but again because am a woodworker it never even entered my mind to even try to build it that.
Do yourself a favor. if you dont have a super large table(I mean very few would have a table this large) , go out and get a sheet of plywood a couple saw horses and two 40 clamps(just return them when done). A screw gun would be helpful as well for me a requirement.
With these basic things two people that didnt even know what they were doing could build this pretty darn fast, without this stuff it will be tough.
This is a very nice day bed, if I had to make it from scratch I would cost me 600.00 in time and material all said and done.
I took a series of pictures on how I built this in an hour by myself. Had I seen these pictures I might have been able to do it in 45 minutes or less the first time.
Mt technique nees.
For an assembly Table
Sheet of plywood
Saw horses
For the build
Painter tape(to hold the back top and bottom salt back together)
Rubber Mallet
Screw Gun
4 Way Screw driver or 1 flat head one Philips
Wrench - I used these because my hands are weak just turn turn the enclosed Allen wrench
Very sturdy once assembled. Make sure you have a friend and a sense of humor when you are putting it together. I normally dont mind putting furniture together, but this one was kind of a pain.
Putting the rails on this thing was a nightmare. You definitely cannot assemble this thing alone! I tried and couldnt hold the vertical rails at the same time I was trying to attach the horizontal rails (vertical rails kept falling out). With a little assistance from my boyfriend, we did get it assembled. Very happy with the finished product.
Love it. Looks amazing and expensive. It was not easy to assemble on my own but with my husband we had it together in no time. One of the best purchases Ive made on .
Update: There are several reviews that say its not sturdy or that they are afraid it will only hold 250 lbs. My husband has slept on it and sat on it several times and he is over 300 lbs. This daybed is sturdy and amazing.
I looked all over for a daybed before deciding on this one. When it arrived I couldnt wait for my husband to get home to help me assemble it because Im impatient like that. It turns out it was very easy to put together. I really like the look of it, its very sturdy, and has plenty of room underneath for storage.
Got this thing, had a cushion made and a back rest made, this thing now serves as an excellent day bed. Cushion was pricey, but you can always get cheaper.
This bed looks great, and I enjoy it a lot. It is very spacious for a daybed (as it is full-sized). There is plenty of room under for storage as well.
I was worried since so many of the reviews said that you needed two people to put it together. I did it alone and it was fine. It took about 2.5 hrs, and I didnt feel like any of the things I did were unsafe with one person.
My mattress is about 8 inches thick, so I worried that it would be too short for the bed, but it actually looks fine. Even a smaller one would look good.

Great, but know what you are doing to build, it. Handy person needed.

Sturday, but tricky to assemble

Better than a couch
Got this thing, had a cushion made and a back rest made, this thing now serves as an excellent day bed. Cushion was pricey, but you can always get cheaper.
Looks great, I put it together alone
