Aside from the instructions indicating 1.5 hour build time and it taking 3 hours, this is a great bed fro the money! I didn't realize from the photo that it was storage on 3 sides which makes it even more valuable. Just high enough off the ground too. It is particle board and a few of my pieces came slightly dented but once it was assembled they weren't visible. All in all, if you're looking to add storage and aren't into bedskirts and big head boards, this is the bed for you!
