This bed is absolutely beautiful. Looks exactly like the picture. I was able to put it together by myself. I got the king size and felt like it just barely fit my mattress but overall the look it good. As mentioned the directions aren’t extremely detailed but really you’ll get the gist. It took me probably 2 hours but that’s because I was breaking down the boxes as I went. It comes in two boxes and they are decently heavy and quite large so if you have someone to help you get it to the right room then that’ll be better for you but it’s not impossible to do on your own unless you’re going upstairs.
