This Daybed looks great, very sturdy, the finish is what we were looking for.  The plans for assembling the bed were accurate and fairly easy to follow.  Thank goodness I read the reviews before buying, since previous buyers had noted several tips for the assembly.  My husband is extremely thankful for the tip using bungee straps to hold the slats while assembling,   It saved my hours of frustration.Pros: Very stylish designCons: Assembly plans should include bungee strap tip for the assembly of the headboard and side slats.
