The bed looks really nice. It seems sturdy. Fairly easy to put together (2 people, 3 hours). Besides what’s in the package, You will need a screwdriver. My only complaint is that the instructions say to drill the slats into the wood, It also asks to drill 4 screws into the bases (so if you do this option, you can’t really take the bed apart and reassemble it.) just not easy to put together again.
