I like the bed. Initially I was worried after I bought it, that it would look like a kids bed in my room. However, it served its purpose as a daybed that had a sofa appeal without looking like a futon. It does squeak a bit, especially since I have it positioned right by my wall, but it was put together well and does still seem sturdy. I only wish the pictures in the description showed the chalkyantique finish the bed was going for ad I thought it was a solid whit finish.
