Beautiful black finish, sturdy wood... there are only two drawbacks, and I think both are reasonable considering the cost.  1) It's incredibly awkward to try to keep the vertical slats lined up while you sandwich them in between the back rails - no hardware to hold slats in place while assembling, but it's very sturdy one horizontal rails are secured;  2)  be careful not to strip screw heads with the allen wrench that's provided!   

Overall, a lovely daybed at a great value.

Pros: value, quality, logical assembly
Cons: awkward to assemble with one person
