When it came time to replace our worn-out daybed, I searched far and wide. I chose this one for the sturdiness of the design and added bracing. Its very sturdy with the design being kind of low and unobtrusive. The black color helps with that as well. Construction wasnt bad. My son and grandson came over to put it all together, but I had already put the head and foot panels together. I enjoyed that. I had originally thought that I could put it all together, and I might have. But having people with younger bones and backs made sense. The construction is mostly done with Allen wrenches, and a screwdriver. The instructions are comprehensive. Mostly diagrams, but very helpful. All the pieces we needed were included, plus extras on the fasteners. There are many small parts, but theyre all letter-coded and easy to keep track of. I mentioned the extra bracing - I thought it was a good idea, helping with overall support and strength. And it is. But putting it together took a good while longer. Its a bit fussy, so, be patient. Another reason I chose this bed was because it sits higher than many of the other beds I looked at. Gee, some of them were nearly on the floor! This one sits higher, and therefore has more room for storage underneath if you wish. With the extra legs underneath as part of the extra bracing, the space is a bit chopped up - but still room for boxes or containers, etc. In use, the bed is very quiet...no squeaking or movement at all. Im very pleased. And, the price was very affordable. Its all good.
Love it!
