Exactly as advertised and exactly what I needed. I built the frame alone but it would be easier with two. A couple of times the holes didn't perfectly line up when laid down, but fell into place when I stood them up with the help of gravity. Like other reviewers have said, keep an eye on the weight capacity and the height of the trundle. I got a 10" mattress for the top and 6" + 9" foam topper for the bottom. We have to lift the daybed when we pull the trundle out, but its worth the extra effort for the added comfort, in my opinion. Very happy with this daybed!
