I didn't expect too much since "you get what you paid for" but surprisingly, these beds are pretty sturdy and aren't that hard to assemble. You'd need a screw gun, though. I would've not liked assembling them with hand tools. (You can still do it with hands.) Like the other reviews the beige color (shown) is more of rosy beige and you can adjust the headboard height to your mattress/box. Overall, I'm pretty impressed!
