It was relatively easy to build as the instructions were very clear. The bed is quite beautiful. It's the same exact colour as it is in the pictures (we got the dark grey) and the quality is just as I imagined but the drawers leave a bit to be desired. They roll around on the floor and is slightly cumbersome to open (or rather detach) and close. While a sliding mechanism would've obviously been better for the drawers, the drawers are just a minor imperfection to what is otherwise a great bed for it's value.
