Alaterre Twin to King Extendable Daybed w/Trundle, Grey, Frame 1 – 36.61" H

We needed a twin to king daybed to have for guests. We have an office that also acts as a guest room so space for us is limited. This was honestly the perfect daybed for us. I was initially concerned - few/almost no reviews, large furniture piece, AND Overstock had the same product for ~$50 cheaper. I chose to order from Amazon because I knew that if I had any issues- they would resolve it via refund even if a return was a pain. Thankfully, we didn't have any issues. PROS: First, the package arrives in 2 large boxes. Both were shipped via UPS and arrived at the same time on the estimated arrival day. We inspected all the pieces of wood and honestly, the paint job was really good quality, there were only small really quite minor scrapes that are not even visible after the bed was assembled. The size of the bed listed in the description is correct. The assembly took about 3 hours to complete and does require 2 people and ample space within the room that you are trying to assemble it in. We followed the instructions in the booklet and it went fine- however they only provide EXACTLY the amount of hardware you need. No extras. So keep a close eye on all your screws/hardware. We lost one at the very end and had to use one of our own to replace it. After assembly, the bed is AMAZING. It looks beautiful, feels high quality, and is worth every penny. We almost bought the similar IKEA version but with shipping would've cost ~$600+! We also knew that if it needed to be returned we would have to drive to an IKEA Store which to us would've been way more of a hassle. We saved almost $200 using Amazon. Usage: We store 2 twin (8 inch) mattresses on top of one another in the daybed position. The frame of the bed is high enough to not look stupid, and the back is still visible for pillows and to have back support if sitting on it. The bed does sit high with both mattresses- but it works for us. If needed for kids, they may have difficulty getting on the bed. For us, having both mattresses there makes it easy for daily use (naps!) And also ready to move down for the king bed position without having to find some random place in our home to house a second mattress. The storage at the bottom is deep and spacious and great for bedding storage. As mentioned we have 2 twins and use a king sheet set in the king position. We are considering getting a king size mattress pad to help with the dip in between the two beds to make that less noticable. CONS: Now for the mechanics, on carpet- pulling the drawer to create the king is a bit difficult. There are small wheels that are installed but on carpet is pretty unhelpful. It takes a little lift upward and pulling to get it all the way out and when you're pushing back in it must be pushed straight back and takes some effort. If this bed is meant for a kid or maybe an elderly person, they will definitely need assistance getting the bed in the king position. Overall, we love the quality, look, and function of this bed. Ordering was a great experience for us and it is by far exceeded our expectations!!

If you could give 0 stars I would. I had to call for support because one is the wooden pieces that makes up the track for the drawers is too thick and so the bed wouldn’t go together. I was offered a partial refund so I thought I’d try to keep it. I was able to cut a thin piece off and that parts ok now. However, the drawers fell apart each time I opened them, even with the glue they sent. I bought a wood glue so now they’re a little better. The trundle is nearly impossible to pull out with carpet and each time it gets pushed back in, one of the wooden pieces from the frame falls apart. Yes, it is put together. I tried to return it and spoke with someone about a pick up. Was told I’d get an email with the date. That didn’t come and UPS came on a day I wasn’t home.

*Recommend purchasing wood glue for assembly* Pros: -The best instruction/assembly booklet I've ever used -Excellent customer service -Cute product that is multifunctional -Packed well inside of the box, just not taped up well enough on the outside to withstand shipping. Cons: -Came in two (2) boxes (assuming for weight), one of which was broken. Resulting in MANY missing pieces. -Some elemental pieces were scratched, slightly broken, or damaged right out of the box. Warped wooden pieces/slats. However, not bad enough for me to send back, mostly easy to hide if you're conscious during assembly. I'm a determined 110lb woman fueled by coffee alone, and assembled this in about 4 hours without help. Bottom line, would recommend based off of appearances, ease of assembly, and customer service experience. I'm using this product in my guest room/office for occasional visitors. --- Now that the disclaimers are out of the way i can share my experience. Shipping was speedy, but I couldn't begin the process until a week after the boxes arrived. The boxes were damaged and looked to be inappropriately taped for shipping. Because of this, ALL of the hardware was missing from the package. Luckily the booklet that came with, had clear instructions for situations like this. Less than 8 hours after I submitted a request for more pieces, I was informed a new set would be on its way to me shortly. Free of charge. I later found out I was missing three boards that make up the base of the bed. I will email the company again and see if they could send replacements. When the hardware came in, everything was separated and labeled clearly. Really satisfied my OCD. Items a-q for hardware, as well as numbers for the other structural pieces. Following the booklet and double checking your materials as you go makes it nearly impossible to mess this us. Very straightforward, not intimidating at all. I recommend purchasing wood glue separately, what is included just didn't cut it. Essentially, wooden pegs are to be glued into boards that have pre drilled holes in order for connections to be made to adjoining pieces, creating stability without screws. Cost effective for the company, and would be great, IF the wooden pegs fit snug. Which they don't. The higher quality wooden glue I had on hand (picture attached) is thick and ensured no wiggle room after it dried. It took about 30-45 minutes to mostly dry, so I recommend doing all of the wooden peg pieces first before beginning your assembly adventure. After assembling, I measured roughly 17inches from the wooden slats which make up the base, to the top of the side pieces. I plan on using two 6inch twin mattresses. Currently unsure how that will look as mattresses aren't delivered yet, but will update with pictures if I remember.

Took the husband about 5 hours to put together by himself, with lots of breaks and a toddler under foot. He said directions were fine. We are both very happy with the quality and craftsmanship for the price. Seems very sturdy, bed over all is smooth and attractive. Pulls out okay on the carpet, maybe need two people. Take your time putting this together and it should be good! Husband gave himself lots of room, took every single piece out of the boxes and organized them and got rid of the excess trash right away to make it easier on himself. He ended up using a drill on some screws. Storage drawers are bigger than we expected.

This bed design is very similar to IKEA’s daybed. We had that bed in Europe. There is no IKEA in Hawaii and I was glad I found this substitute on Amazon. It looks nice in our guest room. I like that it can work as a twin or a king size bed. However, this bed is not as sturdy as the IKEA one. It is harder to pull out into a king size and the drawers also don’t slide as easily. Assembling is took a long time. Overall it works for our purposes, but I wish it was sturdier and the drawers easier to use.

I’m so impressed with this bed! We haven’t had to pull out the bottom yet but just from putting it together and the solid wood there was of putting it together- I’m sold. We needed a piece of furniture that had double uses, a bed and a couch. For guests who came to stay with us could have a better place to sleep at and my kids wouldn’t have to give up their rooms. Others have noted that it’s hard to pull out on carpet- it is, but we put those chair/furniture sliders under the front wheels and while it still is a little difficult it’s much easier. Assembly wasn’t too bad- do yourself a favor and get a power screw driver. It took my husband and about two days to put it together. We did have an issue in the beginning with Amazon sending us two of the same boxes, but I contacted the manufacturer right away and they were amazing to work with and sent out the correct box without having to send the old one back.(told us to keep it) plan to use the wood for another project! Overall, the size is great, appearance is wonderful and with a great mattress on it, it’s comfortable! Better than the ikea one we were going to get!

This bed is exceedingly difficult to put together. It looks great, but it takes a lot of extra effort to put it together because the bed slats do not come pre-spaced like most beds you order do, which would just be inconvenient if it weren't that the entire point of the bed is for the slats to be aligned perfectly so you can pull the front in and out. It is so difficult to do. I have built a lot of furniture ikea style and off of amazon. 9/10 times completely on my own, this was so frustrating and challenging. Additionally there were zero pre assembled parts, I am shocked with didn't have to paint it at this rate. It is pretty and a little creaky, overall esthetic wise it is a good purchase which is why I didn't give it a one star, but the heart ache of building it is substantial. I do not recommend purchasing this. I love Amazon, but this is one you should buy from ikea. I read enough to know this, but if you did, this does not come with a mattress. We already have a twin mattress, but we are planning on getting an air mattress + a mattress pad for when guests come. I cannot say enough bad things about the process of putting the bed slats together. It was truly a nightmare.

This bed comes in two large, heavy packages. After opening both packages, removing all the pieces, and sorting them, I began assembling them. On step one, I noticed that the holes that were cut into one of the side pieces appeared to be backwards - the dowel hole should be on the top, and the hole for the screw should be on the bottom. Guess what...when I got to the next step where this side piece was to be inserted into the back piece, it wouldn't fit together! Of course, I call the customer service phone number on the listing, and I'm directed to go to their website. The only contact method on the website is to email them. I sent them an email on March 27th, and have yet to hear back (I'm writing this on April 2). So I'm stuck with a large, expensive piece of furniture that cannot be assembled as it was delivered to me! Purchase with caution as you will NOT get any customer service support from the seller!
