Instructions for assembly would be helpful The daybed and trundle parts and hardware arrive in three rather substantial boxes. They are large, heavy and awkward and I found it easiest to open the boxes carefully in the garage and carry the parts to the room for assembly. There were a few rubs here and there on the finish but not to a degree that takes away from the overall attractive appearance. The directions are well described. There are machined allen bolts that fit into embedded nuts in the furniture. You will need a helper to assemble the frame of the daybed itself, unless you want to rest the bigger panels on cardboard boxes or other support as you align the rear panel, side panels and front crossing frame. The trundle does not require assistance.
The main daybed is about 79 inches long and 39 inches wide on the inside where the mattress sits, which makes for a snug fit for the twin XL mattress. The trundle is standard twin sized.
There was one defective bolt, and a slight defect where the finish did not quite line up where the panels were attached but customer service was very helpful in quickly providing replacement bolts and a cherry stain pen to fill the slight line which was unfinished.
This is an attractive and solid piece of hardwood furniture which we will use for overnight guests and relatives.
If you are shopping for this type bed, READ THIS REVIEW. I bought 3 of these. Bright white finish, excellent paint job, wood thicker than expected, very sturdy, not too difficult to assemble, trundle slides out easily, pictures on site are representative of the style, but not the color. Only negative is there are not plastic covers for the bolt holes. I will probably dab some white paint on the shiny silver bolt heads (on the sides of the bed) so they are not noticeable.
On the other reviews, here are my comments. Yes, the XL twin mattress on the top fits snuggly and eliminates any gaps. For the trundle mattress, the XL twin mattress is too long, so use a regular length and not more than 7 thickness (with an 8 thickness, the trundle wont slide in or out without lifting up the bed). There was no noticeable odor with the bed or slats - maybe they eliminated that issue in later production. The slats are not thick, but they are numerous - more slat than gap. I suppose if a 200 + person is jumping on the bed, then the slats could break, but they seem strong enough for sleeping. There is nothing flimsy about the wood or construction.
I shopped different sites for this type bed and lucked out buying this one.
We received our daybed very quickly Was very easy to assemble except for a few missing bolts and a washer. We called the company and they are going to send us the missing hardware?My review will then be a 5 star
Bed arrived early! Set up took 2 people and went fast. Only took 30-45 min. Not hard at all. Wood is sturdy. Slates kind of suck but dont they all? My 8 year old loves the trundle! Will need XL twin mattress for top. Best thing a bout this bed.... cheaper than any store that i went to.
The manufacturer has incredible customer service. Its very comfy and Im very happy! Good solid wood base to work with.Some of the directions are not clear. Could not figure out how to use the metal locking device looking at the diagram. Finally, I figured it out given the hollow circle indentations. l had to change a few things. I did not use the wooden slats provided. Went to my local lumber yard and had them cut 5/8 AC plywood sheets for the top bed andcthe trundle bed. I had read other reviews and used the same idea. I also went a step further and reinforced the inside corners with L shaped metal <. I feel there are some flaws with the mattress support design. I felt the extra metal could help with this support system. Overall, a really nice looking unit7
For the money it is awesome! Very satisfied with the daybed. Color Is a very nice cherry. Frame appears to be quite sturdy. It takes two people to assemble but easy enough to do. Bed was shipped 4 days earlier than expected. Would totally recommend this daybed.
This daybed, made in Vietnam, was exactly what I was looking for when I purchased it a year ago today (!) for a sewing/napping room. It came out of the boxes with two problems, one fixable, one chronic:
1) Fixable: One corner of the front trundle piece was cracked and split, obviously from box dropped in transit. The manufacturer wouldnt ship just the broken part, but referred me to . As always, service was good--offered to replace the entire bed if I returned all three boxes. The broken part was--of course--in the third box I unpacked. The packing was brilliantly done...styrofoam and parts fit like a monster puzzle. After laying out parts from the first two boxes, I couldnt hope to repack them for return. I gladly accepted a discount offer from and repaired the damage myself with marine epoxy, clamps, sander, and spray paint.
2) Chronic: The bed has a strong musty odor which I expected would eventually dissipate, but after a year is as bad as ever. The bed frame is labeled California 93120 Compliant for Formaldehyde Phase 2. Perhaps the bed frame is, but I wonder if that standard applies to the plywood slats. Ive tolerated the unpleasant odor because the room isnt often used, but after sleeping on the bed the last three nights, either the smell or the bed has to go. Today I took the bed apart. Except for the inside of the front and rear rails that support the slats, the bed frame pieces (wood, not particle board) have a smooth finish coat, in my opinion unlikely to be the odor source. The slats, however, are lightly sprayed and not well sealed with paint. I removed all the slats and stacked them in a warm place to test for odor. The bed and trundle frames stayed in the room awaiting the sniff test. Ill definitely replace the plywood slats with real wood (incense cedar if I could afford it) or worst case, repaint the entire bed. Buy American.
Update: August 19, 2017
Decided to work on existing slats rather than buying new. First I wiped down the entire bed with 50% vinegar/water. With a narrow roller, I applied water base Kilz primer to inside surfaces of front and back rails of bed and trundle that werent well-finished. Then on to the main objective, which was to prime and paint all edges and both sides of slats. A PVC frame from the garden was helpful to lay the slats on for drying. I did not remove the woven tape that holds the slats together. After the primer dried, I rolled water base Kilz paint on all slat surfaces and let them dry for three days. The mildew-y odor is gone, replaced by very faint scent of fresh paint which will probably fade with time. Happy to say I like the bed again.
Nice product true to description It looks great! Had a slight flaw. We contacted them and they promptly sent a replacement piece. Incredible service !!

Exactly what I paid for. Its great. Just what I wanted.
