The bed is beautiful.￼ When they say 2 people they mean it, though.￼ I deserve a medal for putting this together alone. But… It’s doable! I used some stools I had to help balance some of the longer pieces to replace the second person while anchoring in the bolts on one end.￼￼ NOTE like several of the other reviews mention (thank you, everyone) a twin XL fits. I have a 12 inch memory foam twin XL mattress on mine in the photos for reference, and the mattress is a little snug for changing sheets… But otherwise fits like a glove. ￼ I would imagine that a normal size twin would slide around and leave awkward gaps. I bought this as a guest bed that will double as an office bench for a tight space. It’s very sturdy if you take your time and thoughtfully put all the pieces together (It took me about 2.5 hours to put together alone, taking my time. I recommend a electric screwdriver to help start the slats￼). I probably looked at 100 different daybeds before choosing this one.￼￼ I recommend!
