I was a bit disappointed in the overall look of the bed.  The finish is a bit to plastic looking. I bought it for a rental, so I wasn't as concerned about it.  I would not buy it for my home.  The price point is fair, given the overall quality.  The directions are ridiculously bad, as others have reported.  The pieces were marked with letters, and the directions used numbers.  Clearly, the manufacturer has never attempted to put it together. Frustrating.  Bottom line, if you are looking for a cheap bed and you aren't picky about the look, it works.  Otherwise, pass on this one. For another $100, you can get a much better bed.
