I was hesitant to order this daybed because the price was so inexpensive but I'm glad I did.It's a very sturdy piece of furniture that took my husband very little time to put together. It arrived in two boxes and there were excellent instructions and NO missing parts. The color is as pictured ---I would call it a dark denim. We just got back from Sam's Club with a twin mattress . It's 75" long, 39" wide, and 10.5" high. It fits this Daybed perfectly. I don't think I'll get a mattress for the trundle. I'll probably use it to store blankets and pillows.
