I love everything about this bed! I was worried about the color, but I was worried for no reason, it’s perfect. My husband and I put it together in under 2 hours. Assembly is a lot of small parts. I recommend getting the bolts in place all along the frame to make attachment easier, and then putting the slats together before attaching them to the base. The sides have storage with a lid that pops up and off which I don’t mind (fits snug so it won’t slide off), while the bottom storage has hinges. I’m super happy I decided to buy this bed!
