This was somewhat simple to put together. I was a little underwhelmed at the final product - it looks cheaper than what I was expecting. Also, the headboard and footboard are pretty short - my son’s mattress nearly covers the whole thing, so with bedding you can’t even see the bed. (We took out the box springs because it was ridiculously high compared to the size of the bed.) Overall, you get what you pay for, and for the price it is decent looking and serves its purpose just fine.
