Great day bed for the price. The wood is sturdy and smooth to the touch (still waiting on my decorative pillows to be delivered). It was easy to put together with the help of another person. I think I would have had a hard time by myself. The mattress is comfy but very bouncy and I wish it came with plugs to hide the dowels. It is deep and comfy, I mainly use it to read in the sun and extra room in case the guest bedroom is not enough. Overall very happy with the purchase.
