This bed came nicely packaged with easy to follow instructions to build it. I was impressed with the quality of the  bed: solid wood, big screws to hold each piece in, metal legs down the center for extra support and even double-sided tape for the slats and the mattress to stay in place. I am slightly disappointed that the coloring is grey, not even a hint of the bluish hue in the pictures. A few reviews mentioned it, and I was hoping they had recieved an odd piece but mine was the same. Overall, the bed is a quick fix for an empty guest room.
