I purchased this bed in a twin xl. I reviewed the assembly video prior to purchasing. The bed was easy to assemble, no problems. It does help if you have an extra set of hands, but I assembled it by myself. Also, Im utilizing the bed as a day bed in the living room. The mattress I have is about 14 inches thick. The original height of the frame is 15 inches. This made it too high to utilize in the living room area. I cut all 4 legs down to the height I needed. The bed/seating area is just right now. My only suggestion about the product is giving customers an option on the height or providing standard legs and smaller legs to accommodate a thick mattress. Also, the slats bang around a little bit when you move around on the bed. I would suggest maybe adding some small screws to all of the slats. Two of the slats are supplied with screws and are predrilled. The poplar boards can be stained or left natural. I may stain the frame with a dark danish oil.
Both photos I have included are from after I cut down the legs from the original 15 inch height. The height I ended up with after modification is approximately 24 inches.
