Wow.  This is our go to relaxation spot now.  We put this day bed in our toddler's playroom.  We leave the bottom part extended and it works great.  He can easily get up and down.  He climbs all over the back and sides without any issues either.  Wonderful design and overall we love it.

Tip: wear gloves putting it together.  The wood is super rough (zero sanding it seems).  I immediate got a splinter about 5 - 10 minutes in to putting it together and wore gloves the rest of the night.  All the parts were there.  Instructions easy to follow.  Fast shipping.  Everything arrived undamaged.
