The bed is awesome! We got the Blue color and although it's not actually a bright blue like pictures but ore of a navy blue we love it anyway. I cant speak for the long term build quality because we've only had it for a few days but the crafstmanship appear to be good (I'm talking about the stitching, welds in the bed frame, etc). What's absolutely terrible are the instructions. I have 2 college degrees and assemble Ikea furniture using their instructions VERY quickly. Reading these instructions is probably the equivalent of a random person attepting to inspect North Korea's Nuclear capabilities, very difficult. That said, if you have several hours to kill and a few ounces of common sense you'll figure it out. GREAT PRICE AND GREAT BUY.
