They managed to deliver this bed in black without one scratch on it!  An it must of been easy to assemble, because I didn't hear my husband cuss once!  An the results were awesome.  It's a beautiful sturdy bed that I will have for years to come.  We put a 10 inch foam mattress on it that we bought through wayfair and our 15 year grand daughter just loves it.  I'm ordering the matching dresser and mirror this month and I cant wait to see it all come together.  I'd buy this bed again and again.
