I love the way it looks. Putting it together definitely took two people and it took a little longer than we initially anticipated. Getting the platform slats to fit into the base was a struggle but we finally got it. The bed also sits lower to the ground than we anticipated. I would definitely make sure you have at least a 12 inch mattress to put on it or else you’ll basically be on the floor. Overall I’m really happy with the way it looks and I’m happy we purchased it.
