Very attractive looking and nice finish on the wooden frame. All hardware parts are shrink packed and labeled with the piece counts (which saves time and shows attention to detail). I am used to assembling toys for my grand-kids and especially pre-fabed furniture for my personal use, however the upper side and back frame decor slats take more time and attention than normal in assembly as you have to position them firmly and keeping them firmly positioned while bolting the frame. The instruction sheets should be better and clearer in explaining which parts could be be pre-assembled first. In order to complete the final assembly stage you should assemble sections prior to bolting. Much easier to ignore instructions and analyze which is which after sorting ALL parts.. It pays to have someone offer some minor assistance holding a few parts during the assembly. The instructions did warn of the weight limit being 225 lbs. max. so I ordered 3 Bear Claw brand mattress supports (increases weight limits greatly)which have really improved the ability of Santa Claus sleeping over without possibly breaking his neck and falling thru the mattress slats (ho,ho,ho!). NOW that I have seemed to air out my installation concerns I must say that this daybed is BEAUTIFUL, STURDY, and FUNCTIONAL making a nice furniture addition to our den. The installation results is definitely worth the effort.
Don't hesitate to purchase this daybed as you will not be sorry if you do!
Definitely 5 STARS cosmetically !
