The daybed is sturdy and easy to assemble. I would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for the following: the back of the support piece on the back of the bed was in bad shape - ripped and torn all along the length. No big deal as long as the bed is up against a wall, which mine is. There were 4 holes for screws that were completely covered by fabric, so I hav=d to carefully find them and make cuts in the fabric so the screws could be attached as needed. Other than that, the bed seems great.
