I love the look of this bed! It's simple, nice-looking, and solid, although a little lower to the ground than what I perceived in the picture. I was especially impressed with the assembly instructions. I didn't have a lot of confidence in my ability to assemble it without messing up, but with each part labeled both by part type (letter) and step in the process (number), I was able to figure it out in no time at all. My only complaint about this bed so far (having only slept on it for one night) is that I've noticed sometimes when I flop down on it or get on it on my knees, I hear the wood panels sort of creaking/straining. I'm hoping that's just the bed breaking in and not a sign that they panels will eventually split. I'm very happy with this purchase!
