First, buy this bed! I love the uniqueness, storage, and sturdiness of the bed. It is everything I expected it to be and I’m so happy we got it. We have a small bedroom for a king and the low-profile nature of this bed works perfectly. The storage is a fabulous bonus! 

Second, pay for professional assembly. It took my husband and I all day to assemble this bed, and I can usually assemble furniture without issue.
