Overall  I am incredibly happy with the bed. However, the set up was a nightmare. The directions were completely unclear and once I got to step 3 it was basically like reading an unfamiliar language. As someone who has put together many a piece of furniture I was hopeful that I wouldn't have too many issues but I was wrong. The end result is great, the bed is a lot lower than I anticipated but the set up was not great for me. 

Pros: great value, looks great 
Cons: low to the ground, assembly
