I bought this beauty in black because it was not only the perfect  price but it looked so chic and Im a lil goofy about letting the reviews dictate my decision but how else does one know sight unseen The reviews were pretty decent. So Im pretty handy with putting things together and have the patience most times. It took me a couple of hours to fully assemble the bed and I also purchased a bed in a box from Wayfair to go with it. Once I got the bed together I was disappointed with the slats that are supposed to give the mattress support. They are cheap and useless. I will have to measure and have some extra slats precut so that the mattress doesnt sink and to give it support. I also will advise you to pair your mattress with a boxspring to give it some height. My bed in a box was only 12 inches and it is rather low for my taste. This bed lives in a spare bedroom so its functionality will tell once guests arrive and give it a go. Just please get some slats for support.
