This is a nice bed. It is slightly more cream than Oyster. As everyone else has said it is in lots of pieces and the instructions are dire. I did it bit by bit. There is loads of play on each drilling so you are unlikely to get it wrong. There are also more nuts and bolts than you will ever need. I just don’t know why some of it could have already have been secured. There is a lot of plastic. I don’t think the quality is that great but in the grand scheme of things not that expensive so I suppose they cut corners. I think there should have been a bar at the foot to allow more stability when the mattress is dropped down. You can’t sit on the end.
