This bed is great! It is pretty low, but it works very well in our small rooms (my house was built in the 1920s). It does come in 4 clearly labeled boxes, so if you follow the markings and instructions on the box, its super easy and not overwhelming. We paired it with the Theis Bookcase Headboard (by Charlton Home) in the light oak color and it matches very well and gives us more storage!
