The bed is absolutely beautiful. It took less than and hour for me and my brother to put it together. Pretty easy. The only thing I didn't care for is the wood is pine and started cracking when we screwed in the nails to hold the platform pieces down. My brother suggested only screwing down every other one so I removed the screws from where it was splitting the wood. The frame is also about 2-3 inches wider than the mattress. Fits perfectly from front to back. Drawers are wonderful!
