This bed is great! Walnut finish looks great and was easy to assemble. Recommend sorting out all the pieces and grouping them. All the pieces had labels or stamped identification. I built the bed by myself with help by another person just to lift and place upper bed onto lower. Took about 3.5 hours leisurely building over two days. Was in no hurry but could probably do it in 2.5 straight through. Once all hardware is tightened up it is a solid and sturdy bed. Highly recommend for the price/value.
