Have had this bed for 2 1/2 years now and have zero complaints. It was very easy to put together. I did remove the mattress and go back to tighten everything up after a few months of wearing in and its never needed it again. I was really worried about it being flimsy based on reviews, but I have not had this experience. Color for mine was true to online pictures. The side rails are somewhat low to the ground, so if you have under-the-bed storage ideas, youll be quite limited. I have a Beautyrest Black mattress and box spring on it, making it very tall - cant sit on the edge of the bed and tie shoes or that sort of thing - but we like it. Kid jumps on the bed once in awhile.
Sturdier Than Expected
