I absolutely love this bed! I call it my grown & sexy bed because it just looks so nice! It was super simple to put together. I had someone helping me and it took us about 30 minutes to put the whole thing together. I thought the packaging was really clever by hiding everything in the headboard. It made it very easy to take out all the pieces to make sure we had everything we needed. I would recommend this bed to anyone & would buy it again if needed too!
