This daybed is beautiful, sturdy, and, perhaps most importantly, very comfortable, both as a couch and an extra bed!  It's long enough to fit our 6'6" son, and sturdy enough for my husband and I to sit together and watch the birds outside the window!  Thanks, Wayfair, for a job well done with this piece!  PS - while it did take 2 of us to put together, the directions were clear, and we had fun doing it!
