I installed this bed myself back in June, and I love it! While the instructions weren’t specific, I have no experience putting together furniture and I had no problems. The wood looks absolutely beautiful and seems to be holding up well, too. My only complaint is you cannot move the bed without the center supports getting messed up, and it seems as though they could stand to be attached better. While I wish for slightly better center support (you can never be too sturdy), the bed is more than sufficient and does not squeak, rock, or move. If you wanted to, you could always DIY and add a little more for center support. Also, for color reference, the wood is more accurately portrayed by the sample photos where the wood appears darker. Overall, I highly recommend this bed.
