I am giving this item 4 stars because I really do like the bed and how it looks. My only negative is that it’s very difficult to raise and close so I wish the hydraulic system was a little better to make it easier to lift up and down. I also wish that the part that held the mattressboxspring had a lip on the top so the mattress wouldn’t slide forward when the bed raises. Otherwise it’s a very nice piece of furniture and I love the color.
