Bed came in multiple shipments that arrived separately but were still on time. Fairly easy to assemble but some screws could have fit better. Parts of the paint, mostly on the decorative joints, are purposefully "distressed" looking which I suspected but did not clearly see in pictures as it is not dramatic. Seems sturdy and stable but is very squeaky, just shifting slightly causes noise. Fits my standard twin mattress nicely and has a good amount of room for under-bed storage containers. I like how there are large panels supporting the mattress instead of a few thin boards. The squeakiness is really the main problem as it is so sensitive to movement, but I've gotten used to it.
