The bed was a great deal and has the beachy look we were looking for. It was a bit difficult to put together - some of the parts were lacking guide holes for the screws, and we had trouble screwing them in all the way. The slats under the mattress are only screwed down in 4 places. The slats could use more screws to keep from moving around and making noise when flipping over in bed, but we can always go back and add some if necessary.
