I love this bed! It looks exactly as it does in the picture and is very sturdy. It was relatively easy to put together; some of the corners were a little tricky to access, but I was able to put this together mostly by myself. There's not a ton of room under the bed, so if you're looking to store things under it they'll have to be pretty slim. It also comes with pieces to screw in the slats so they won't slip, which was important to me since my old bed slats fell out all the time. Overall very pleased with this purchase.
