We bought the bed in black and it looks lovely. The slats were okay to put in the rubber bits on either side but the rubber bits were the hardest to push in. Instructions were okay to read but needed a second person to hold the legs up as due to the bolts being underneath I struggled to see so stood the bed up on the headboard and fastened them that way. If on a laminate floor I would look at buying casters as it keeps moving its way across the room
