Very easy to put together.  The drawers are on rollers. Not sure if I like that idea. We haven't use the bed yet. Seems sturdy but we'll be adding plywood for support the mattress . The slats are close together and seem very strong and held onto place by tension. For warranty purposes of our mattress we are using plywood as a solid foundation.  This is a nice color (drifwood king size) the beachy look we were going for. Adding a white bookshelf also bought here for contrast.
