This bed was a great buy ,and an affordable buy .I bought this bed for my son, who immediately loved it. It's non-time consuming when it comes to assembly ;as it took approximately thirty minutes to put together .It's very stable and isn't wobbly at all. The color is as depicted in the above picture ,and is a rich color .What I like most with the bed is the fact that it doesn't take up a lot of space if you are limited on that .The only con for me was I wished that it was a bit more longer in the front or had extendable capabilities .Overall I'm pleased with the performance of this bed ,as it's a great deal for the purchase price and I would gladly recommend this bed to anyone in search of decent /good bed on a limited budget .
