This bed is exactly what I expected it to be.  No surprises. But then your customer service dept helped me a lot in choosing the right bed. They are always there to help. All you need do is ask. I put it together by myself and I am 72 years old. Took me about an hour.  Definitely raw wood but I can paint it or finish it somehow at a later time or maybe I wont even bother. Very sturdy and perfect for my small bedroom. Also purchased a mattress for the bed which should be here soon. Thank you Wayfair. You guys are awesome.
