On the plus side, the clear maple wood is beautiful. One of the reasons I got this bed is because the maple matches the bedside dressers that my Dad made for me many years ago. The 2 drawers are very deep and roomy, and they roll in and out very easily IF you have a bare floor or very short carpet. I have thick pile carpet and they did not roll at all! Solved the problem by putting 1/4 inch hard board under the bed. It doesn't show and now the wheels on the drawers roll freely! The main reason this bed did not get 5 stars is because it was very hard to put together. All the connections were off just enough to make it nearly impossible. It took two very strong people, a mallet, and a lot of time and patience to get it together. We did win out as I am using the bed, and now that it is together it is sturdy. If you are getting this bed, plan ahead and have enough strong help, and maybe a glass of wine too!!
