This is a very nice bed... the price is right and it is good quality, sturdy, and looks like the photos. The instructions are fairly simple, but you definitely need two people to assemble it and must pay close attention to the details. The entire bed  comes in one very heavy box, so I had to unpack it and transport the parts piece by piece upstairs to the room where is was assembled. Not a major problem though! This is exactly what I was looking for..
