The bed is a lighter color than pictured. Overall putting it together is a hassle, the hardware is all placed in one big bag and then they have a piece of paper that is supposed to help you differentiate the hardware. The directions aren’t very clear at certain steps. The drawers are poorly constructed. The bed itself does feel sturdy, the center support is supported with metal legs, the wood supports in between the center support and side are prestressed but feel pretty cheap I hope they won’t break under repeated use.the drawers themselves are not tied in to the bed they are separate and on rollers. Ease of construction 3/5, quality 3.5/5, aesthetics 5/5.
