I purchased this daybed for my daughter's room to allow her more space to move around. I am not disappointed! Assembly was doable for my husband and I - no divorce or couples' therapy required. For a little while we did not have a mattress in the trundle area. We used tubs to store my daughter's clothes underneath instead. But we have since purchased a mattress (Ultimate Dreams 11" Crazy Quilt Pillowtop Mattress, Wayfair) and I have to say it is almost too thick, so be careful when choosing trundle mattress.
