Assembly of the bed was straight forward, just be aware of the slight variation in the size of the screws and you won't have any problems. Looks great and is nice and sturdy. The bed is a twin XL so it's a great size as well. Finish on the metal is a lovely dark bronze and arrived without a scratch on it and Wayfair's price, at the time, was the lowest. Would definitely recommend this bed to anyone looking for one.
