I love this bed! I recently purchased a townhome, did a complete remodel with a contemporary vibe. This bed was exactly what I was envisioning. The bed was packed in a much smaller box than I was expecting. All of the parts were packed inside a zipper enclosure in the back of the headboard — genius idea! The instructions made the assembly process a breeze. Best I have ever seen! I am a 73 year old female, so you know if I say it was easy to assemble, it really was. Looks exactly like the photo online.
