Kodiak Furniture Twin to King Size Daybed with Pop Up Trundle in Wood in Rustic Walnut, No Box Spring Needed, Easy Assembly, Up to 500 lbs Weight Capacity

Good quality & pretty
I really like the look of the bed & trundle. It’s very sturdy and not to difficult to assemble. Two people are helpful when putting together the main bed but my husband did the trundle on his own. I do wish the trundle could be pushed back under the bed a little further so it isn’t a “toe catcher” when I’m making up the bed etc. I know it’s designed to line up with the bed, but it would be nice to have the option to push it back some.

Looks great, easy to assemble, mattress gap
Two things first: these are for regular twin mattresses, the bottom fits a max 8″ thick mattress. The biggest disappointment that no other reviews (from other sites) mentioned was that there is still a 2-3″ gap between mattresses when turned into a king. You’ll need to buy a topper or a gap filler which IMHO is an annoying extra expense.Besides those two points, everything else is great. It feels sturdy, the pop up design is just what we needed for frequent in-law visits and I anticipate using it as two separate twins when the kids’ friends visit in the future.Pricy up front, but I’m thinking it’s a solid long term investment and is a welcome solution to the two level trundle bed options that are so common.

Inferior glued up wood makes for a bed that’s only good to look at
I knew going into this that it would need repairs, but didn’t think it would be in the first 90 days. However, the first time anyone actually slept on it, it broke in four places. Anticipating a somewhat less catastrophic version of this, I had planned to use the bed as a template for new parts as they broke. Bought maple and oak to replace a leg, a slat and a crossmember. However, if you don’t have a full wood shop, those repairs might be a bit much. I imagine — but did not test — that the manufacturer would have replaced the bed or sent parts (maybe?) but the problem is deeper than that, going to the wood itself so replacement parts (that I didn’t make myself) won’t fix the issue. The bed looks great and I can see why people like it, but I question if the better reviews are actually using it regularly. All in all, don’t buy this fairly expensive bed that won’t last without a major overhaul.

Nice trundle bed for a guest bedroom
This trundle bed fit our needs for a guest bedroom. Being able to transform it to a King size was a big selling feature. The bed was delivered in two boxes which were each 6-7 feet long. Each weighed a good bit but not more than a 64 year old could wrestle with. Even though the boxes were fairly ‘beat up’ in shipping, I was pleased to see that there was no damage to any of the wood pieces within. There was LOTS of packing material. Each piece is clearly marked i.e. numbered and the included directions were fairly straight forward. The hardware includes an allen wrench for assembly. Having a medium sized flat blade screw driver helped to align the nuts in the assembly process. I guess solo assembly would have been possible but with my wife, it went quicker and greatly reduced the chance of damage done when assembling. We used a cordless drill which helped a lot as there are a number of wood screws and bolts required. As with most items of this nature, it helped to get each bolt/screw started in each sub-assembly prior to tightening down all the way. My wife and I are very pleased with the final out-come of the bed. The 8.5″ clearance between the slats of the lower mattress frame and the bottom of the upper bed frame was just right for an 8″ mattress.Once we have had guests and actually use this trundle bed, I will update this review. At this point though, very pleased with this purchase.
