This bed is a very good value for the money however my son's tell me they completely should revise the directions for assembly be prepared to be patient both of these guys are very good at assembling things and together it took them 4 hours the box was missing three large bolts that they needed so they had to make a trip to the hardware store the bed it is as advertised you do have to be aware that there's some movement when you get off and on the bed because of the storage component underneath I've already started putting some things under there what a relief to be able to walk through my closet again of all the storage beds I looked at this is the best value for the money the headboard feels dirty but has a nice pattern to it the color is neutral enough to blend into most color schemes
