The bed is a built it yourself type of bed. The pieces are solid wood so that is a plus, I know there is not much info on this in the description. The bed contains a lot of little pieces and can be a headache. My advise is you need two people working on this at once to help the pieces stay together, I advise to use a bungee cord to sandwich the pieces of wood together.Once built the bed frame looks nice you have plenty of space underneath for storage or drawers. The bed needs to air out for a day, it will smell of paint and strong pine. Anyway I hope this was helpful. And if you are thinking about buying it on wayfair and it is higher then $180 don't buy it here buy it at walmart they will sell the same bed for about $180. :)
