I like this bed. After returning a different one from a different retailer, after it was already put together, I was hesitant to try again but really wanted a Murphy bed for my guest room. This one was easier then the first one, my son and I did it but we also had practice. It does take some time, we split it into two days. Glad I purchased and I would recommend. Took off one star because not all the pieces went together evenly but I can deal with that. You might be able to see it in the pic of the bed up. I do love the way it looks and the lights were a bonus.
