We bought 2 of these beds in 2 different colors! My girls love them. They were a bit time consuming to put together (I did it alone), but it wasnt hard and the instructions were easy too follow. Therr were a few places where holes didnt line up very well, but as long as you dont tighten anything until the very end, it wasnt a huge deak for me.. I got them together.. To be honest. I prefer the black over white. The black looks nicer and cleaner (everything blends in better), but the white you can see all the hardware and where everything connects. Its not a deal breaker considering the fact that it is an inexpensive metal bed, just be warned if you buy the white bed.
