This bed is absolutely gorgeous, very sturdy, and was really easy to build. My friend and I were able to put this together in about 40-45 minutes. The instructions were very easy to understand and all the parts are marked nicely to enable a quick and easy assembly. There is a lot of underbed space, so much that I am able to fully crawl under the bed, and as such, the bed is fairly tall and allows for a lot of storage underneath if you plan on it.
