This daybed is exactly what we were looking for as an every day bed for our daughter, but with the added convenience of the trundle. No longer do we have to drag the mattress upstairs from storage or keep it propped up against her wall for the constant sleepovers that come with summer. It was easy to put together, although it did take a bit of time, but well worth it. So far it seems super sturdy, and pillows along the back make it look great.
