It looks nice and my son loves it. I only gave it 4 stars because many of the pre-drilled holes on the platform pieces didn't line up too well. They were off about 1/2 inch but I was able to get it together by making new holes in the correct places. As far as the the way the finished frame looks, it worked out since the mattress covered all the screws.

The instructions were nicely detailed and the diagrams were clear enough to easily put the kit together.

The drawer was nice and smooth when pulling it out and back in since it had ball bearing sliding parts.

I do recommend this platform bed but be prepared to drill some holes in case they don't line up.
