The day bed is pretty much as expected and was very easy to assemble. The wood slats are fairly unfinished and can easily be snapped if you lean into one. Evenly distributed weight from the mattress should allow the slats to hold up, we had a guest who weighs around 200 lbs sleep on it and it held up fine.

Bottom line, the bed looks great and it was a great purchase. We bought 8" mattresses for both the top and trundle and are very happy with the purchase.
