We wanted a nice queen sized bed for our very small guest room - 9' x 11' feet. This bed has a small profile and is simple and pretty in such a small space. Assembled in a couple of hours - nothing complicated but lots of screws and it helps to be organized and pay attention to the directions - the directions are just pictures but look for the little details! The wood did give off a strong smell for a few days - we just kept the window open and it eventually went away.
