I thought it was going to be really tall but I’m 5’5 and it stops about at my chest. It’s soo beautiful and took about 45 minutes to an hour to put together (two adults) which was not hard at all. The bed is sturdy, no bed bugs as I’ve seen some people have issues with on other beds. Comes with all the parts. Screws don’t have labels on them but they are shown in the paper. It’s best to separate all the parts in a pile first, makes things A LOT easier. Overall, LOVE LOVE LOVE my new bed.
