The bed is great for the price! It looks like it cost a lot more than what I paid for it. The oat color was perfect for what we wanted. It took us about an hour to put together (with two people). It wasn't terribly difficult to assemble, but be prepared for Allen wrench fun. Also, we thought we were missing the legs that attach the headboard to the platform, but it turns out they were stashed in the zipper compartment on the headboard.
