Love my bed. It was was easy to put together, it only took me about 1.5 hours at the most. It seems low to the ground when you set it up but with the box spring and mattress I do not feel like I’m on the ground. Also- you will either need a bed skirt or long comforter because the box spring is visible without one or the other. The bed also would be better on carpet because it slides around on wood. I am not giving it 5 stars is because the package arrived completely torn up and the footboard was damaged. Customer service was great, though, and is sending a replacement part within two weeks.
