At first I was disappointed with this daybed because it was shipped in 2 boxes, which is not mentioned anywhere when buying. Took me 5 days to get the first box and almost an additional 2 weeks to get the 2nd. 
In the questions, some one had asked if the back was closed, answered yes, but it is not. This was important for us as we were buying this for a toddler. It recommends up to an 8" mattress. We had a 7" and a gap was left in the back. Large gaps were on both sides when adding our regular twin mattress as well. Also, not good for a toddler. 
We ended up buying a 9" twin xl mattress and are much happier...no more gaps! Even though the Q & A said it could not fit a twin xl. With our new mattress, this is a great daybed! It seems sturdy, color is a nice tan/gray, and is stylish yet comfortable.
