Decent bed for a good price. Looks nice. The instructions are less than comprehensive, but after putting so many of this kind of thing together, you know what to look for. If you've never assembled furniture, the instructions will probably confuse you. Fret not! Much of it is common sense. The key will be to make sure the bed is square before you screw in the slats so you don't reinforce a bed that will look wonky. They really should've had at least a couple of additional slats, also. The thing that actually bothered me and the reason for the 4 stars is the smell. It has a strong chemical smell. I'm airing out the room it's in and am hoping it will subside.
