Got this full size bed for my nephew who is going to law school. Wanted to help him have a better sleep environment. The pop of the color blue of the bed sure helps it feel happier. It is very soft to the touch. I feel it looks better in person. I do like the quality of the bed a lot. As for the assembly, it is very straight forward and easy. I did use a power drive to screw in the slats, made it go a lot faster. The package came speedy and in a nice flat box. It came in perfect condition. Made well for a young man to use.
