This is a very well constructed murphy bed, especially considering the price vs. similar Murphy beds. It does take two people roughly 4-5 hours total to put it together, but the directions are really easy to understand and break it down into simple steps. Also, I didnt have any issues with drilled holes lining up - every screw and part fit right where it was supposed to fit! Usually, furniture you put together doesnt go together that well, so that was much appreciated. Keep in mind that it is MDF, so it isnt indestructible, but it feels like a stronger grade of MDF compared to some other furniture of mine. The finished product is stylish and has a very light whitewashed look with woodgrain, which is lovely.
