I'm really pleased with this bed. I have an older home with smaller bedrooms and this bed fits perfectly in my spare bedroom.  It offers a low profile too.  The bed took about two hours to put together but I was also doing it on my own.  An extra person would definitely reduce the time.  The finished product was very nice.  It looked just as advertised and I like the drawer underneath to store linens or whatever you need.  Great buy!
