This is a fair price for a simple country style trundle bed. It was easy for my husband to assemble and it did come with the hardware. We bought the bronze but it looks more like dark chocolate brown paint. You get what you pay for. I am happy with the purchase because I just needed something inexpensive that would fit a 10.5 Serta  brindale mattress from Sams. The trundle needs an 8 inch mattress.  It seems sturdy enough but I will not be using it on a daily basis, just for family and guest visits.
