Do NOT buy this bed unless you're interested in wasting an entire afternoon trying to put together a poorly-designed piece of garbage! Not only were the directions difficult to follow by anybody with less than a graduate degree in Engineering, but the track at the foot of the bed was broken and prevented the drawer from sliding all the way in. Putting a mattress directly on the floor would be a better alternative to this bed! I'm honestly afraid to sleep on it, because the particleboard is so shoddy. It's basically the hotdog of the wood world (ie: all the scrap parts that were unfit for decent furniture ended up as part of this bed).

Pros: The process of building this bed will either solidify or destroy your relationship with your significant other, should they foolishly choose to help you.
Cons: It does not come with a box of matches to set the thing on fire when you finally realize buildilng this bed is a Sysyphean task.
