Teenage daughter wanted more space in her room and chose this beautiful day bed. It is well made and exactly what she wanted. Handy hubby built it with no issues. We are not using the trundle, as she wants to put three large baskets underneath for storage. One minor issue: we ordered an XL twin mattress per the item description which states that the frame will accommodate a 39 x 80 inch mattress and it is just too snug. As a result, making the bed is a major mission, as we have to lift the mattress up completely to place fitted sheet on. She also has a hard time tucking the top sheet and duvet around the mattress since it is such a tight fit. I am going to see if the company I bought the mattress from will consider exchanging it for a regular twin, but I think that is unlikely. Moral of the story: great daybed, but buy a twin mattress, not an extra long twin.
