I like the daybed very much, I found it easy to put together and all component parts are well made. I like the fabric also. However, be aware that this is a BIG piece of furniture, my first reaction was that it is comically large.  I got the 10" extra long twin mattress after reading other reviews but I think I would have been happy with an 8" regular. It's so high! No way you could use this like a couch - you really have to get up on it and either recline or curl up. Which is fine as long as you know what to expect. Also, in my situation, it is being used as a bed every night and the mattress fits very tightly - the mattress height makes it a bit hard to "make the bed" (tucking in along the back). A minor issue but I wish I had known.
