Bed arrived in perfect condition. I have put several things together. While it does take some time I was able to do it solo, in a few hours. Directions are easy to follow. Drawers are a little shorter than i expected, but it was perfect in our guest bedroom. Color is exactly as pictured. This is great because you don't have to buy a box spring for the mattress. Everyone who has slept on it says it is very comfortable. I would purchase this again. Very satisfied!!
