This took my husband and I less than an hour to put together. It feels very sturdy and looks FANTASTIC. We have a very tall pillowtop mattress and wanted a lower bed that would allow our toddler to climb in and out safely on her own. With our mattress the height is perfect, though the headboard looks shorter than in the photos just because it is partially obscured. The chrome feet look nice. Be careful when you first set up the bed until you adjust to the wider footprint. My husband stubbed his toes three times today! All said, we love the bed and feel it was very good value for the price.

Pros: easy assembly, looks great, great value
Cons: Would be tough to put together alone, especially the parts that were not pre drilled
