I love the bed, but I’m not sure how so many people say that put it together by themselves in under 2 hours. I’m fit and in my 40s and definitely needed a second set of hands. It took us about 3 hours with a dog-walking break. I’m so glad you build the headboard first or we may have quit out of frustration had it been last!!

The frame is sturdy and attractive. I will say the drawers are not a great addition. While I would have liked them for the aesthetics of a “bed skirt,” I chose not to use them as they are just floating without any stability underneath the bed, rolling around wherever. Kinda weird. 

Overall, great product for the money. Definitely not an $800 bed, though, so make sure you purchase at the discount!!
