It is a wonderful bed! Light but pretty sturdy. It is very easy to assemble, !!but make sure to leave the holes on the side board facing up.  We tried to squeeze in Twin XL box in it. Eventually managed by putting the package materials on the slats, and it "fits" . It looks very nice, wish the headboard is a little higher. It was not 83' as we hoped for, it is about 78' long. So we go ahead ordered another one.
