I love, love, love this daybed with trundle. He looks BEAUTIFUL and I continue to get compliments on it. It didn't take a long time to assemble... we put it together as a family with our 2yr old providing assistance. I'm not sure over the long haul how it will do... but for right now, I'm in love. We also put a piece of wood for extra support under the mattress. Per the other recommendations provided by other customers, we got a twin mattress with no more than 8in for the trundle. Also it is a big piece of furniture that works well inside my "she den" for any guests that'll be visiting.
