This bed looks nice and the color is not as dark as in the picture. The bed feels sturdy. The drawers are a bit weird as they are free floating on wheels and not on a track. Also, the instructions are SO CONFUSING and the assembly is a bit of a nightmare. It took two of us 3-4 hours because we had to keep undoing things that we put on slightly wrong because the instructions were so unclear and putting things like the wheels on with the smallest screws and bolts was extremely frustrating! Assemble with caution! and patience!
