This is a great daybed and is high up off the ground which we needed to store our pop up trundle.  It would look more like a couch with a shallower mattress, but we wanted it to be comfortable for guests and put a topper on it. I closed up the bottom to hide the trundle with a cheap dust ruffle that I cut and stuck up with double sided tape.  It was easy to put together and I did it myself (please use two people haha).  I also added some extra screws to the wood slats per another reviewers recommendation. Makes the guest room look finished and up to date!
