The bed itself is lovely, good quality and pretty straightforward to put together. My daughter loves the look of it and is very excited to move into her new room once it's finished. I deducted one star because we also order the budget mattress along with the bed. I know it says 'budget' in the name but I was extremely unimpressed with the mattress that arrived. It looked and felt used and like something out of a student bedsit. If you are considering buying this bed I would suggest getting your mattress elsewhere, as we now have done.
