This thing is a bear to put together! Took us about 6 hours and several times of pulling things apart to flip a board around or two. The directions really aren’t great at all but the bed is pretty and study when completed! Ours is white and does scratch easily but no obvious damage to it when it arrived. I wouldn’t recommend more than a 5 inch mattress on the trundle. With just sheets it’s hard to push the mattress in! Overall it’s nice and hopefully holds up! Please get better directions!!!
