Daybeds

This is a very fine daybed but I did have one problem... I didn't consider mattress thickness when I bought the mattress in town while waiting for the daybed frame to arrive. The mattress I bought is very thick and plush with a padded top. The mattress in the picture that describes the product must be, at the most, four or five inches thick. The one I bought is, I don't know, about twelve inches (or more) thick. So, when I set it in the frame... the arms and back of the bed frame mostly disappear. Kind of a problem when the whole purpose is for the bed to act as more of a couch during the day and only as a bed if I have a guest. At this point, I might as well just have a small iron bed frame under the bed as I don't really see much of the wooden frame. A simple solution is to just make sure you buy a suitable mattress in the first place. It is a very nice looking daybed otherwise, and quite solid and easy to assemble."..."  Read more

This bed is gorgeous, classy, and unique! Just having it in the room transforms everything and the design ranks high in the "showplace" category. My full-sized bed is my primary bed. My only disappointment (thus the 4-star rating for what should really be a 5) is that the bed slats that come with it are VERY thin and flimsy. For the quality of this furniture and the cost, one would think that the manufacturers would not have skimped on such an important detail. I plan to buy sturdy plywood to hold up my mattress. In the meantime, a box spring (covered with a dark fitted sheet) sits down into the frame and onto the floor and my mattress is on top of it in a conventional setup; which defeats the purpose in having a platform bed, but it still LOOKS like it's a low-profile platform set up. All in all, I would recommend this with the caveat that owners will have to come up with solutions concerning the slats."..."  Read more

Bought this bed for my 6 year old daughter. I assembled the bed with her help. So it was fairly simple. However, it would have been easier with another adult. My only complaint would be the "flint" finish. I wiped the bed down with a soft cloth, and could not tell if it was dusty or the finish was coming off. Overall, we are happy with our purchase."..."  Read more

I purchased this for use in my 6-year-old daughter's room. She loves it! It was very easy to assemble, and we haven't noticed any problems with it loosening and squeaking like we've experienced with a previous daybed. The only complaint would be that the link spring is very hard. The last daybed we had actually had springs that you just put a mattress directly on. This one is more of a platform. It is very sturdy, but it does require a box spring (or a little more padding) and a good quality mattress. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this bed."..."  Read more
