This daybed is extremely easy to put together. I did it by myself in about 45 minutes. The instructions are straightforward (especially if you lay out all the pieces ahead of time and get a feel for where they go). Once together it feels really sturdy and the cushions are bright white and lovely. They’re a little on the thin side but we are using this by our pool so I think that makes sense for drying. Other review has suggested the mattress slips so we added heavy duty double sided Velcro to help and we haven’t had that challenge yet!  I love this bed and think it’s a great buy - it’s a tad smaller than a queen size but I don’t find it small. Two people can sit on this easily. The price also makes it so worth it.
