I needed something small enough to fit in the den of my condo apartment but big enough to sleep on.  After hours of looking at single beds, daybeds, and futons I finally decided that this was the perfect compromise. It was delivered fairy quickly and was an absolute breeze to assemble. Basically just screw on the legs. I keep it in the "down" position to give it the daybed look but love that I can prop up the back when I'm laying on it. Great buy!
