I wanted to love this bed and would have returned it if my boyfriend hadn't taken it out of the box and set it up when I was out of town (he tried!). The paint finish on the metal is horrible! There are places where the paint is already peeling off and places where the paint didn't cover at all. It's also huge in structure and overwhelms the room which is disappointing (I did measure, but didn't expect the frame to be so massive which is my bad I guess). With a 10 inch mattress, the bed is also very tall and a small child would need to climb up to get in it or use a step stool. I would not recommend this daybed.
