This is a great buy for the price and it looks nice. The directions were wordless but very straightforward and easy to follow. One of the parts was very slightly bent when I got it but it was no big deal at all, I used some pliers to put it back in its place. If you're going to buy this, however, just be aware that while it's sturdy for normal sleep it's not gymnastics-level sturdy...if you're buying this for a child, explain that they are under no circumstance allowed to jump on the bed, or else I foresee some bad times!
