Bought this bed and the other color. Both work great and were on the easier side compared to similar beds, but the black oak bed frame, when inserting the top half and bottom together wouldnt go. First bed went in really easy, struggled with the other for nearly 30 minutes. Tried adding vegetable oil to help slide the pieces in, eventually had to enlist help and we got it in by sort of violently wiggling it up and down. So it's a great bed but minus a star for the bruise I got building it.
