The bed was pretty easy to assemble and looks just fine. The pine is of good quality - there are a couple of knotty bits but they aren't visible - the bedclothes cover them in situ. Two of the drawers don't fit flush to the side of the bed, but these are the two nearest the headboard on each side and  I guess they'll be behind the bedside tables. Who's going to see, anyway?  With a standard mattress, there is enough headboard to prop up some pillows and read a book. You will need a pillow as the top of the headboard has a flat top that protrudes inwards and would be uncomfortable to lean against. The bottom is at the same height as the mattress. This stops you hanging sundry clothing items over the bottom and it has the advantage of making the room look bigger. It arrived in the evening unexpectedlyly, as the delivery service (despite promises) did not phone to arrange delivery time within the range we were given. Luckily, we were in. And it was within the time range specified.
