Three stars is generous....
1. The misrepresentation of color is so vastly different than the actual color, I’m surprised the listing hasn’t been updated. It ain’t rustic. It doesn’t look like wood. It’s very dark, nearly black. It would ruin a bedroom full of furniture that actually looks like the bed in the photo. 

The picture Different bed.

Vague instructions though doable...except was slat was like...two inches too long. Way off and just one stat. Weird. Sawed it how to fit (a hassle).

I question if actually sturdy. 

As a single mom, I diligently research “large” item purchases. I read the reviews. This wasn’t a surprise, though it was still disappointing. Overall, I’ve been pleased with Wayfair—this bed is definitely my least favorite recent purchase. 

Will make it work. It’s my sons first big boy bed. I wish I’d received the bed in the stock photo.
