Review on Twin Metal Daybed Frame With Platform Base And Slats - Ideal Sofa Bed For Living Room Or Guest Room - Dark Copper Finish - Box Spring Replacement by Greg Quinit

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!
