This daybed with trundle was purchased nearly two years ago for a cabin three season porch. It has probably been used more than any other piece of furniture in the house and has held up wonderfully. Since we knew it would have constant use as a lounging "couch" (as well as extra beds for guests), we cut and placed a piece of plywood to fit over the slats to more evenly distribute weight and support the mattress. It looks as good and is as sturdy as the day it was put together.  Although the style would not be considered rustic, it is simple enough to "fit in" with cabin décor and the Barbados wood tone blends well with honey colored pine walls/ceiling. With an 8" mattress it does sit higher off the floor than many other daybeds, but its design/height also allows for easy slide-out of the trundle bed when it is needed. Took a little extra time to put it all together but it was more than worth it. It was an excellent purchase,
