It is an attractive daybednot perfect but good for the price. Assembly was fairly straight forward,read and follow the directions and you will be fine. It is a two person job I think. Assemble the slates on the floor (use a bungy cord to hold everything together as you go to the next step) and do things in the recommended order.
Not super strong and durable, if you are a young couple, a lot of activity may stress the bed
I put a 6 inch mattress on it and even at that there is not much railing left for lounging.
I didnt go with an mattress. We found something at that is perfect: 6 inch with a memory foam layer, firm and nice. A little more money than the 6 inch but I will bet it is a more comfortable mattress. At I kea you can test out on the floor samples. is rolling the mattresses they sell so they will fit in a standard car truck!
The bed seems sturdy, and assembly is straightforward. It was packaged well, and all the parts were present and in perfect condition. The material appears to be of good quality. All the holes lined up as they should. The slats have countersunk holes set at an angle, which not only makes the screws easier to screw in, but also makes it less likely that the slats will split -- I though that was a nice touch. The only tool you need for assembly besides the provided allen wrench is a phillips-head screwdriver. The instructions specifically say not to use power tools -- they do not want you to over-drive the screws. But I used an electric screwdriver on the slats anyway, because there were a lot of screws. Just understand that these screws dont need to go in very tight. They are there only to keep the slats form moving around. Spacer blocks were provided to make it easy to get the right slat separation. That was a nice touch too. There is more room under the bed than I expected, which is great for storage. You can slide foot-high boxes under there with room to spare. Or foot-high monsters, I suppose.
Beautiful bed. Absolutely a monster to assemble. Some of the holes were not bored all the way through. Instructions not well written. Better to use eye sight and common sense.
Bed was very nicely packaged, it was a tad bid difficult to build, would recommend having another person help hold as you tighten screws but very well put together and sturdy, not cheap at all! but very affordable and worth the price!
I got this daybed for my office and love it. My husband assembled it in an 45 minutes and I helped he just follow the diagram they sent and used the tool that they sent to screw everything together. I had my doubts when we were putting it together about being sturdy; but, when we where done we ended up with a very sturdy bed. Some advice: when you assemble the bottom long boards the ones holding the mattress, put on the one on the back first. We put the front one first and the back one wouldnt fit therefore, we had to take it off then put the back on then re screw the front one again.
i was worried about durability since this was the cheapest one i could find but it seems to be holding up very well in my kids room. i love that it gives each child their own sleeping space (with trundle) and then opens the room up during the day for more play space.
I was a little apprehensive about this purchase because of existing reviews. it was not extremely difficult to assemble. Took us about three hours. An issue with a screw was resolved with an email. Great piece of furniture.

Perfect for 2 guest room/office
Perfect for 2 guest room/office..put a 10 inch memory mattress ..looks fab ! I built myself in about 40 minutes
durable

Simple but sturdy
It took a little while to put together but seems to be sturdy and stylish. There is enough room under the bed for storage which is a nice feature.
Great piece of furniture
