For  a small person like myself and no one to help, I am happy to say the reviews were consistent. Easy set up and light so I am able to move it with no assistance. Nice rich color. It does take up a bit more room than I expected, but it is still clean and elegant. My suggestion is to make sure your cover/quilt/comforter/bedspread is not longer than the facing mattress length. It makes it look messy and unkept. I have my daughter fold her twin comforter in half and it works perfectly  to size. I do recommend this day bed with trundle. Downfall? The small boards that go across both beds are not very strong, so be prepared to have to replace some, especially if a larger individual will be occupying this bed (both upper and lower).
