We bought this bed last year to replace two twin beds we had in our large guest room after my daughter moved out. The room was repainted and it only took me about an hour to put this bed together by myself. I was a little disappointed in the finish though. It had some rust spots and instead of being stark white like it said it was kind of antiqued. I tried to clean it, but my daughter said it was suppose to be like that. I'll have to wait and see if the rust stains return.
