This is a decent daybed, but its not very sturdy. The box came damaged and opened, and the backboard metal tubing had been dented. I was able to bend out the dents (mostly), but there is still evidence and the paint has minor chips where the bend was. The box containing the strut holders was missing, and Ive reached out to the company to get them. Not sure if theyll help or not, but the bed is assembled and works (barely). Im confident that, like other reviewers said, the metal will bend easily when someone lays on it. Until I get a few sheets of plywood to put under the mattresses, nobody is going near this!
The bed fit together fine, and all the pieces matched. The material is a metal tubing, so it isnt very strong and needs a little TLC when assembling. I can see how easily a little bump of the box could have dented the tube, and theres no recourse if this happens because you cant push out a dent in a hollow tube. It came missing the strut supports, so perhaps this will make the bottom a bit stronger.
Putting together took time but was fairly easy. All tools are supplied, so you just have to dig in and start sticking in the bolts and sliding in the mattress support tubes. Took less than an hour and did this myself, having unpacked all the parts in the garage and carried them upstairs one or two tubes at a time. The hardest part was actually getting the parts out of the box and transported upstairs.
Would I buy this again Probably not. Id look for something with a little heavier construction and more durable metal. Design looks nice, but its pretty flimsy.
Cheap and barely effective
