My daughter wanted to upgrade from a twin and this turned out perfectly. The instructions were clear and it took about 30 minutes to put together. The slates are given in two sets, which makes it easier to install. They also use Velcro instead of laying loose on the frame. I like this for keeping them in place on a child’s bed! The color was exactly as described. I will update this review in a few months to see how well it holds up, but as for looks, it’s perfect.
