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

I was pretty sure we can’t assemble this without having difficulties after reading some negative reviews about it , but alas, I was wrong !!! We managed to built it within an hour and everything was working perfectly. No missing parts , and no parts not aligning with each other at all. Seems pretty sturdy . We used 8” thick mattress with it . My husband and I plus our dog can easily lay on it without any issues , while watching TV in the living room. We’re definitely satisfied with this purchase .

Sturdy and easily put together

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.

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!

Arrived on time and was perfectly packaged to protect all parts. Everything needed was included in the package. Directions were fairly easy to follow. Does really need two people to assemble. Parts are well made, sturdy and fit properly. Extra of each nut/bolt/washer etc. Took us approximately 1 hour to complete. Love the powder coat paint finish Recommend

The instructions are pictorial only and on one of the pages it shows two parts that are similar but reversed and are not labeled so of course I wasted some time assembling and than disassembling once I found out it was backwards! 🙄 Two of the connecting tubes for the higher frame sections had flattened areas which made them impossible to connect to the lower frame! After pounding them round I was able to connect them up! Overall, it was a pain to assemble and took way too much time than necessary! I upgraded from two stars to three stars because it does look good and is very sturdy! Be careful when tightening as some of the threaded inserts strip easily!

Nicely made metal day bed, not as thin and cheap as some others I have seen. There is enough slats in the base for the mattress to have a firm base. Not a fan of the silver nuts and bolts showing so much but took care of some of that with a bed skirt, Now I can store items under the bed with out anything showing.

We ordered this and had it a month or so before putting it together. When we did, it was disappointing to discover the middle 3 legs were longer than all of the front and back legs, so it rocks back and forth. We tried putting riders in the back to try and even it up, that didn’t work well at all. We were told we could take it apart and try send it back, was just hoping company would send another middle support that wasn’t faulty. I would not recommend this product.
