Bought this for my daughter's room. She and I assembled it together - easy. No scratches or dents, it was in great shape. Looks like a much more expensive bed than it is. We ended up using a low-profile box spring, and the mattress is 12-14" tall. I think the rails sit up just a tad bit higher and the original 9" box spring made the mattress sit up way too high. If this is on stock and you are thinking about getting this bed - do it!
