Bed was easy to assemble with the exception of a couple of the screws were not an easy fit in their respective holes.  But with a little pressure, was able to get them to thread.  Its very nice looking, sturdy and strong. Looks just like image and love having the trundle for when needed. 
Used and 8" mattress for bed, 6"inch for trundle, but if you place bed on highest height option, can fit an 8" on bottom as well. 
Very pleased with my purchase
