This might be worth a read before buying!
The couch is OK, but you can make it better with a few more things to make it work!
3 Stars because I had to spend an extra 150 to make it usable.
Ill preface this with my goal was to have a daybed as my living/room couch. Originally I had a 14 inch bed frame, but I was looking to create something more cozy and lower to the ground (more the appropriate height for a couch.) This frame was originally the answer to my desire! So I have created a list of pros and cons, and provided directions on how I made it look like and feel a cozy couch that can actually support two adults!
PROS:
1. Its super easy to put together! I could do it by myself (30/F/not in great shape ) in about 2 hours, even with my dogs trampling everything.
2. Its very cute, and by far the most Couch like daybed frame for the price. I wish the sides where lower than the back, but thats my own preference and not what was advertised.
3. It appears to be pretty customizable. The parts are extremely basic.
CONS:
1. Its slat is listed as a max weight of 450 pounds, and you do still have to factor in the mattress to that number. The con is that 450 is apparently a hard limit. My husband and I both weigh about 210, and the whole thing is unnervingly wobbly when were both sitting on it. The legs also bend inwards after a while and the screws need tightened regularly. Update on that: After taking it apart for my modification, it had already lost several screws from light use (I had avoided sitting on it out of fear) over a week. Maybe it was user error and I didnt tighten things well enough. But tbh the weight limit combined with wobbly/ness invoked enough fear in me that it leads me to believe that the frame wouldnt have worked out in the long run had I not made some changes.
2. Youre getting what you paid for. At around 300 this is a great price for the couch/like daybed frames! But it will cost more to make it truly usable. So, do with that what you will.
3. Its still a 14 inch bed frame! Youll be sitting 20/30 inches high. I read 8 inch clearance, and misunderstood that as meaning the cushions would start at 8 inches from the ground. (Since I wanted something lower than what I already had, that was pretty heartbreaking for it to still be 14 inches tall)
So, here is what I did to give it a real couch feeling. I used a 10 inch mattress I already owned.
Youll need:
1. A mattress, mine is 10 inches. Consider the height of your mattress when buying the box spring to determine how tall you want it to be.
2. A 5/7 inch box spring that can support the weight of adults! The front piece of the couch is 7 inches tall. If you buy a box spring that is taller than 7 inches you can either leave the front piece off, which doesnt really look that bad tbh, or jerry rig it another way. But I bought the basics, 5 inch.
3. Some good adhesive for fabric/. OR if your more savvy with power tools/need it to be sturdier, L brackets and wood screws.
Step 1: The legs are literally part of the structural integrity of the frame (which seems like extremely poor design in my opinion.) I removed ALL PARTS EXCEPT THE SIDES, no support for the slat, nothing but the 4 outer pieces. The back actually has some pretty sturdy brackets already so I just put some glue around it, I also glued the front sides together (or you could use L brackets and wood screws.) No matter how you do it, you just have to remove the legs. Otherwise the box spring wont fit inside.
Step 2: Since its legless, the couch frame will be on the floor, which means, YAY! Its already looking more like a couch! You then build your 5 inch box spring and place it in the middle, put your mattress on top and your done! Here are some pictures of how mine turned out! Its good enough.
I chose the assembly and setup so the setup was easy. The tan color is very light and looked grey at first, but when I added pillows the tan color came out. This is a stylish addition to a small bedroom. Sturdy.
I really am pleased with this purchase! I bought this bed for my son whom just turned 2 this month. The bed is sturdy my husband is 280lbs 6ft 1 was able to lay with my son(he laid at an angle) was comfortable! I was able to lay in bed as well(5ft2 250lbs) we bought an 8inch twin mattress in a box from Walmart it worked perfectly for this bed! I was upset about how long shipping took after ordering we received almost a month later. No missing or broken pieces. My husband was able to put together with no problems within a few hours. Overall I am satisfied with purchase. reviews gave me an iffy feeling about ordering but thankful i did. We have had the bed in use for about 2/3 weeks now. My sons room is a little small but its also my office because i work from home bed fits perfectly! Bed is a nice edition to room because it can also be used as a couch for people to sit on. My 3 toddler children was all able to fit in bed comfortably to sleep through the night Worth it!!!
We decided to redecorate our 6yos room and were looking for a good transitional bed, so we also wouldnt have to get another as he gets older. This was a great choice.
Delivery was quicker than estimated, which was a pleasant surprise. Assembly was simple. The style is nice, with the navy fabric and slim structure.
My son loves the bed. Were satisfied with the purchase. Simple and easy to put together.
Bought for my 3 year old so we wouldnt have to turn around and buy her a bigger bed in a few years. It took my husband less than an hour to put together, is super sturdy, had no defects looks exactly as pictured. I was not at all dissatisfied with my purchase. Ok.
I love this sofa bed, and I am so embarrassed about how long it took me to assemble it because of my own obliviousness before even starting the process. Their customer support was fantastic. I hadnt read the parts list carefully enough, so thought I was missing a crucial pair of brackets. (I misread the list as two separately labelled pairs of brackets; there were two individual brackets shrink/wrapped together but since I could only see one label, I assumed it must be a matching pair and that I needed a second set.) I contacted customer support and asked for the missing pair of brackets. They sent me the single one I needed, but I still didnt realize my mistake and repeated my request. They sent me a complete bracket set. Both replacements (which I turned out not to need and I am so sorry for pestering them) arrived within about a week of contacting them through .
Once I got started on the actual assembly (after some abject rolling around in humiliation about my unnecessary self/delay and excess bracket acquisition), everything went great. All the holes are nicely pre/drilled and perfectly aligned, no extra tools were needed, and I put the whole thing together by myself in one afternoon. My only significant complication was initially over/tightening the rear/side panel connections so I couldnt get the front panel in, but all the parts were very forgiving about being loosened and retightened.
And now this sofa bed is the comfortable, sturdy, and rather spiffy centerpiece of our house. I dont know whether the /look fabric would stand up to clawy cats, but it has a very nice texture and appearance. The back panel is completely upholstered, so it would be fine in the middle of a room after removing the usual consumer tags. The padding isnt very thick, but Im happy with it. The slats and hinges dont creak, the feet have little smooth plastic pads that make the whole thing very easy to move around, and we have to keep shooing the kids off it at bedtime to go sleep in their regular beds.
My one quibble is with mattress alignment there isnt much of a lip on the front panel, so our 6 memory foam mattress tends to keep sliding forward; perhaps a thinner one would be less mobile, but otoh the black brackets are still distractingly visible against the light tan fabric at the back corners unless screened by pillows which then tend to creep down and push the mattress forward. I may try putting a yoga mat between the mattress and the wood slats to improve friction.
But on the whole, I have no regrets about this purchase. Except for the bit about me mistakenly demanding extra brackets. Space saver.
I would love to give 5 stars. The bed is beautiful and the directions were easy to follow, but I ordered the tan bed, and received the grey. Thank you so much.
This daybed is great. Nice quality, easy to assemble, perfect for that sleek look or casual. I had an awesome experience with customer service as well. I dont regret buying this product. Very functional.
This was a lot better quality than expected and considering the massive piece it wasnt difficult to assemble, very easy instructions to follow. Was very pleased with this purchase. Works great!
