-1 star = -slight squeak which was really due to slight hole/screw funk
I really wanted a sturdy daybed to fit in my space as my permanent bed at night. My beautiful custom built wooden queen wont work where I am.
This bed came promptly, was easy enough for me alone to put together (I havent used the rollout because I use that space as storage - plastic tubs and small boxes fit very nicely below, by the way). It has been incredibly sturdy in all the time I have had it - sitting on it as my most used source of seating, and sleeping on it almost daily.
I have no major complaints. I am sure I could resolve the slight squeak if I investigated which screw is rubbing... but is so small I never felt inclined.
Initially I thought I would lay some plywood over the bars - because they did not look comfortable at all. The mattress I bought (see other review) was not comfortable but it did prevent my need for getting plywood.
The back is prettier than many choices out there (at the time of purchase) I should still invest in some large decorative pillows but have not often found the need. The back and sides are tall enough and sturdy enough to keep pillows as a support when leaning back. It is not against any wall.
I am very happy with this product.
Note that products can change over time and it has been a couple, few years since I purchased this item. But this review is my personal experience.
