I love everything about this bed! I have created a glam room and this daybed was the perfect addition! It's a bit larger than I expected, but fits perfectly in the room. I had plenty of room sleeping on it. I put a twin mattress on it, which is the perfect size. I think a XL twin would be too tight. It was easy to put together. The daybed is made well and the finished look is very stylish. Glad I made the purchase!
