I was so excited to find this bed! The color is true to what you see online and I really love the material. It was reasonably quick to build (1 hr) with 2 people and a drill. The instructions were a little vague though. I purchased with a 12” memory foam mattress and was prepared to get extra bed slats or plywood, but the slats are 3” apart and seems to hold my mattress and weight just fine. I absolutely love it.
