Daybed is awesome - just as pictured. Took me about 4-6 hours one day to put together by myself (female here). Instructions were very straightforward. Had bought 8” and 6” mattresses in advance as others had recommended. They fit perfectly. The trundle easily rolls in and out. Can’t wait to dress it up further and get some accent pillows. You need none of your own tools, everything comes in the kit. Love it!!
