Love the size, and look, its perfect for our small bedroom! Time putting it together was 4 hours. However, there were a few uneven holes that had to be re-drilled. And the other biggest problem is you put the whole thing together with an allen wrench. It would take HALF the time with a screw driver, flat head or phillips. Ugh! AND its about 2 12 inches in length. But, having said all that, great bed! )
