It was reasonably easy enough to put together. We got it in white and it looks really nice. The only drawback for me is that the silver screws stand out on the ends and also on the trundle. The drawers are bigger than we thought. The trundle does not totally line up with the bed, so it does look a little separate, but once the mattress was in it seemed to fit better. I would definitely recommend this bed. Its perfect for our 4 yr old. I would also recommend paying the extra fee to have it delivered to the bedroom its going in. It was worth not having to move the heavy boxes ourselves.
