It is a beautiful bed for the price. Assembly was crazy! It took two of us 3 hrs. very difficult to line everything up. My husband has assembled many things and this was the worst. However once assembled it is beautiful.
Excellent buy. This is an extremely inexpensive piece of furniture. You cannot go anywhere else (except second hand store) and find a wood daybed for under 200-300$. A few reviews said the daybed was flimsy, or not well made. I do not agree. For under 200$ you get a nice looking daybed that feels 100% stable. One person can sleep comfortably, or two people can sit like on a sofa. The finish will scratch easy so be sure to lay down a blanket or put together on carpet.
I purchased a 10 inch thick, twin size, memory foam mattress that fits very well. We are using this as a spare bed.
Overall the daybed was relatively easy for two people to put together. Similar to assembly. It took us roughly an hour or two. Shipping was fast.
A very nice little day bed, but definitely tricky to put together and a two person job. Also, it fits only a mattress no box spring which makes it a bit stiff to sleep on. I would buy one again though and recommend it for someone wanting a handsome daybed for a spare room.
This is quite a nice daybed. Having read many reviews, I knew putting the slats in would be tricky. The bungee cord trick worked nicely in holding it together until we fully had it installed.
Without 8 hands and 3 extra people, the bungee cords were the magic helpers.
This was a replacement day bed for a metal one that fell apart on us too soon. We love this one. Its sturdy and lower to the ground making it more comfortable. Our trundle still fits underneath. I highly recommend this !
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.

Kayden Daybed Solid Wood, Twin, is a winner for us.

Sturdy Day Bed at a great price! Room for trundle underneath!
