Very nice bed. Takes some effort to assemble, but well worth it and really not any more effort than other furniture items of similar design and price. The bed is a fair value for what you get. Be aware that it is Twin XL size which is 80 by 39 inches. Twins are usually 75 x 39 inches. Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that there are no dowels or other aesthetic enhancements to cover up the screw holes...the picture on the web site shows color-matched dowels inserted in the screw holes.
