I'm glad I found this bed because after agonizing about the right headboard to go against my trimmed out wall, I decided no headboard! And that makes is such a great value. I put it together myself without much trouble. I put some felt circles on all the legs (4 outside, 8 underneath) and it was easy to move around on my wood floor before we put the mattress on. The mattress is memory foam, so it is heavy and the bed stays put. As other reviews have stated, it is slightly on the brown side, but since there is no headboard, it isn't very noticeable, even against my black wall, when the bed is made. It's exactly what I wanted, and I'll probably end up getting another for the guest room.
