Rooms To Go: Daelan Blue Full Daybed with Twin Storage Trundle Product review

 

Product description:

This is bed is the ideal solution for a guest bed, or in a space that has to pull double duty. The twin size version of this product is ideal in  small apartments where it can double as a sofa, and bed while still offering second sleeping area for a guest. The trundle is structured to also offer a good deal of storage for blankets, pillows, etc. 

The full size version makes it ideal in a guest room where you may have a couple with a child as an overnight guest. 

As of this post, this bed is on sale at Rooms To Go for the price of  $677.00 and this does not include mattresses which will need to be purchased separately.

Pros: 

Price:

 $ 677.00 👈💬

Compared to sofa beds, wall beds, and Murphy beds, this is a better buy for your money, as it costs significantly less. Most sofa beds are not comfortable, and although they are space friendly, rarely offer storage, or can accommodate more than two people, in reference to the Full size version.

Storage: 👍

Offers far more storage than sofa beds, and Murphy beds. The twin sized trundle is deep and can serve as a dressers offering room for guests clothes, spare bedding etc. 

Color choices: 👍

You are offered two choices, gray and blue. The shade of blue is close to Teal so bare that in mind.

Attractive: 👍

Once assembled the bed is attractive and the fabric is soft to the touch.

Online chat for help:😩

Rooms to Go offers assistance online on their website. While this was nice to see, unfortunately they offered no help for assembly issues because it was past the cut off time when we made the call. So this is potentially a nice feature, but only if you contact the chat tech during regular business hours. 

Cons:  👎

Poor assembly instructions:

You basically get two sheets of paper with drawings and few actual words, especially for the main bed assembly.  Now this may seem like it would be easier, but it is far from the truth. The instructions, did not include how to attach side arms, nor did our product include the specific bolts required to do so. This lost us valuable time as we had to go to the hardware store to get this the next day. We advise getting this item put together for you, if your finances allow. Some of the construction was easy to figure out based on the pictures, but most of the instructions were about putting together the trundle, not the main part of the daybed you will sleep on. This may have been a fluke.

Missing parts: 👎

As mentioned above this bed was missing key bolts needed to put the main part of the daybed together. Six specific bolts are required to do this and 6 specific bolts needed were missing. This made this whole process slow going and a hassle. If you need this bed right away, please check asap to make sure you have these bolts because they aren't even listed on the instruction sheets. 

   The Bottom Line:🤷

 

While this bed is reasonably priced, and offers storage, it was not the easiest to put together due to the aforementioned "cons." We would love to give this a 10 out of 10, but unfortunately, we just can't overlook the big instruction deficiencies and missing parts. This lost us time and caused us a lot of frustration, and this is coming from people that have done full home renovations for 20 plus years.

Our Score:  4/10 

Sorry Rooms to Go, do better.🤷
