I wanted to surprise my husband for father's day so I worked on the bed alone. Very stupid idea because it took me over 3 hours and would have taken both of us an hour if I wasn't so hard headed. Looks great and the color works perfectly for us. It is a little darker than the first picture on the Wayfair site. My husband initially thought it was not as strong as he would have liked but I have no complaints about that. Would have given it 5 stars but one of the shelves arrived damaged and I am still deciding if I should ask for it to be replaced.
