The bed is as pictured, it was fairly easy to set up mostly myself. I only needed help to hold 2 pieces while I screwed it in. I will say it’s lower than I expected so I’m getting a thinner boxspring to see more of the headboard and the light feature. One of the buttons on the light remote doesn’t work and another one that says red appears green. It’s a small thing but still should work for what I paid for. My daughter loves it so far. It makes her room lighter and definitely gives it a princess feel.
