Good solid quality wood, shame about the weird yellow stain finish on the Scandinavian Oak color, makes it look cheap and dated. Photo misrepresents the color of the oak wood option. Much easier to assemble with a power drill.
This is an amazing buy! This whole bed is REAL WOOD!! I thought this bed was extremy easy to assemble. I'm familiar with power tools but I am not very skilled. It took me less than 2hrs to assemble the bed and the trundle. The wood is high quality as stated. The bed is extremely sturdy and very aesthetically pleasing. I wanted to buy a 2nd bed for our other kid but the price jumped up and was no longer within budget. I regret not buying this bed again because the one I did buy is total junk. I recommend this bed to anyone, you will not regret it!
I decided to write a review to provide some helpful tips on this bed. Some background: we were looking to add a bed to our second guestroom but anything bigger than a twin would take up too much room. We also felt like having a twin bed was a bit of waste since only 1 person could sleep there. Enter this trundle daybed bed (two twin beds for the space of one twin bed!). Perfect! I looked at many designs and they all seem to gear towards too childish/girly (i.e., something you find in a dollhouse or lacked style (all the fabric ones). I really liked the simple design of this daybed that I felt could last through changing trends. Just change the pillows/blankets to fit your style. A note on color, I got the "Castanhocolor which looked like an ash brown in pictures but is more a warm brown. I believe another reviewer described the color as more "rustic cabinless "mid-century-- I think that's a spot on description. Although I would have preferred a ash brown, the warm brown still looked fine. Putting together the bed took about 1 hour. The instructions were pretty clear. Essentially you make the top bed first then you make the bottom trundle. The last step for both parts is to drill in each individual slat. I decided not to do this.
TIP 1: Use Velcro for the slats instead of drilling them in
I ordered some Velcro Tape of 30ft and 3/4inch wide for $18 (https://www..com/gp/product/B000GRBEK2), I probably used about half the box. I put the rough side on the bed part then cut up the soft parts in strips to put on each end of a slat. I wasn't sure how well the adhesive would stay so I also used a staple gun to add two staples to each soft strip on the slat. Then just secure the slats on the bed and trundle using the block spacers provided. This whole process probably took me 30mins. And now the daybed won't be a pain to take apart or move should we ever need to.
TIP 2: If you have high carpet, use furniture sliders instead of the wheels
So our room has super high pile carpet and the trundle wheels were essentially useless because they were too short/small. I decided to remove the caster wheels and instead ordered some furniture sliders. I got a set that had 8 carpet and 8 hardwood sliders for $12 (https://www..com/gp/product/B088P6CP4L) -- note, the width of the discs (3.5in) was the same width as the trundle slat where the wheels went. I combined 1 hardwood slider on top of 1 carpet slider than just placed it under the slat in each corner where the wheels were originally attached. I thought about securing these sliders with tape or glue but it wasn't needed -- the weight of the trundle kept the sliders in place. The trundle now slides super easily.
TIP 3: Install some straps to make pulling out the trundle easier
So because of the high carpet, getting our fingers in between the open space of the trundle and the bed was a bit difficult. I installed two leather cabinet pulls from Ikea (search OSTERNAS leather handle 6-- currently $16 for two) on the front of the trundle. Now our trundle bed is easy to pull out.
All in all, very happy with our purchase even though we had to make a few modifications.
They sent me a book case instead of the day bed. I'm really disappointed because this bed is so beautiful I was so excited for it. I'm hoping the company will get back to be quickly about a replacement.
This is not the color advertised＃I picked this one for color and what I got is very orange. Bummed because I dont have time to try to return and pick a new one.

Great quality for the price
This is a great mid-century modern piece perfect for my office/spare room.
Good quality wood, shame about the wood stain color.

Quality product
I paid to have it assembled and was glad I did. One person could do it but 2 is preferable. Good quality.
Quality product.
No missing parts!

Deceiving
Color is not the same as the pictures from the item description. Disappointed in that.
Great value! Simple modern design. Just needed a couple tweaks!

How sturdy the product is
I liked how well it blends with our existing decor. It is very sturdy and easy to slide out the trundle bed.
They sent me a book case
