HOMERECOMMEND Metal Daybed Frame Twin Day Bed,Black Sanded Color | Heavy Duty Metal Slats Sofa Bed Platform Mattress Foundation

Despite 3 dents and a spot of peeled paint I give it 5 stars. I read reviews that complained about how complicated it was to assemble - I am a 69 year old lady who does happen to be handy with simple tools - assembled it all by myself. The instructions were simple A-B-C to follow. I laid out everything first to be sure that everything was present - there was, as well, an an extra of each screw/washer. The one thing that did set me back a minute was the installation of the support bar/rail that holds the legs underneath - there is nothing in the instructions that lets you know that there is no “center” slat onto which to secure the support rail with the legs. There are 10 slats so I counted to #5 and measured to the center of the support rail and attached it to all three points. I discovered later after I had tightened all the screws that the support bar/rail was not centered so I did have to take it back apart. The instructions state that this is a two person task - for lack of a second person I just assembled what I could flat on the floor, then, used a stool or edge of a couch to prop pieces up so I could attach them. Instructions say it takes about 30 minutes to assemble - since I had to take back apart the support rail/legs and I was doing this alone, it took me about an hour and a half. The weight limit is listed as 300# - any two of my family members sitting on it would be over that. There were reviews which complained of bent or broken bars and rails. So, to keep the weight evenly distributed on the whole thing, I placed a piece of 1/4” plywood measured exactly the width/length onto it, then bought a 14” table leg and screwed it under the plywood right in the middle about 3” back from the front edge to keep the weight off the front rail. Bought a twin size bed-in-a-box mattress and now have a beautiful and sturdy daybed in my den. I do wish I could have found a 6” because it is a little high. No rattles, wiggling, nor squeaking at all!

Easy to set up and very durable.

Pros: sturdy. nice looking. Holds my mattress. Has 12" of space under for storage. It was packaged well for shipping. Cons: The support posts underneith do get in the way of sliding storage containers under the bed. I got the white finish. I was a little surprised that it is not a shiny smooth enamel type finish but is more matt. It's ok. Time will tell how well it holds up. General notes. Assembly: A T shaped piece that is a support leg was pretty bent and required a rubber hammer to get it to fit into place. It was exasperating but it got it on. Also, the back arrives in two pieces and the pieces need to slide together and that was a real bear to do alone. There was also one or two other bits of instructions that were not clear enough causing me to have to take bolts out and redo. It was a troublesome assembly. There are a lot of pieces because they need to make it small enough to fit into a ship box. Lots and lots of bolts. Next note. There is 12 inches under. The sides have a height of 29inches. My mattress is 12 inches. so the sides only come up 5 inches higher than my mattress. Which is not enough to lean a pillow against the headboard section. The photo shows the sides coming way up above the mattress. They must have a 4 inch mattress on the bed for the photo. So that is kind of awkward.

There are about 300 pieces, how complicated could it be? I took my time putting it together and did a pretty good job, with no issues. It seems reasonably sturdy, materials could be a stronger, a lot of work for something that will probably need to be replaced within the next couple of years

I’m 78 years old and I put this together by myself So it was easy and I love it

One of the pieces was slightly deformed/dented which made it incredibly difficult for another piece to slide into it. I really didn’t feel like returning this huge box, so I just bent it back into shape with a hammer and forced it in. Which worked, but was annoying to deal with. Overall it looks pretty good, despite the assembly being frustrating due to the deformed piece. It’s a bit wobbly, but feels relatively sturdy.

These beds are perfect. Installation does require two people or it can get a bit frustrating. I got them for my kiddos and haven’t noticed them making noise and they’re very sturdy! They also fit their twin size mattresses pretty good.

I am a one happy customer! I put this bed together by myself in less than an hour and half, even after misplacing 2 screws. Most screws came with one extra and all pieces were labeled clearly. Easy instructions to follow. It was a pleasure to assembly! I had a small dent in the back piece tube which needed to be opened with pliers in order to fit into the side part. However, it was an easy fix. It is modern, pretty and solid. The bed will be in daily use. My daughter loved it too and I will get one for her in white.

Ok so build quality is just ok. No instructions and if they only did a better job at thickness of metal and a better coating of paint. Maybei got inethat was at the end of the paint coating but its a gritty feel and more rough than a ssmooth paint
