This bed gets three stars because my husband said steps 11-27 got confusing and made the bed more difficult than the multitude of other things I e had him assemble previously. I also don’t like that the side boards are two boards put together on each side they just don’t seem as strong. Our son will love the color changing lights and the usb port. I do like the charcoal color and it seems like it will last a couple of years hopefully.
