This bed was very easy to put together. My son did it in under an hour. It was not as vibrant as the picture but still looks nice. It just a bit plain. We added a box spring to make the bed higher or it would be really low to the floor, but it is a platform bed. It is sturdy and not too heavy to move. I think a lighter color might have been better. This is for my granddaughter’s room when she visits. She seems to like it. Her over bed was too high but this one is great.
