For the price, it's well made, easy to assemble (make sure you have a power drill), and very sturdy. Upholstery seems durable. I used it with a 10" deep Endy mattress. The only problem is that there is about 2" of space at the corners where you can see through to the floor. Not a big issue though when you throw a duvet over it. The brown legs are like a medium, yellow-brown wood stain. Not the most desirable colour, but oh well. The can be painted if necessary.
