This bed is very cute, looks just like on the picture. Assembly was a nightmare as none of the pieces were labeled so it was a guessing game. Especially for the 8 different kinds of screws that were only mm apart in length. Once assembled I was very happy with the product. We have a tempur pedic mattress with its base, it turned out to be too tall for this base. I would have needed a step stool to get in a out of bed. Check the height of the bed and consider what you already have before purchasing. We ended up having to order a 4 in. box spring so the mattress would be well supported and not have too short of a bed.
