I just put this bed together, it took a couple of hours and is only mildly frustrating. I havent slept on it yet to see how it holds up. I gave it 4 stars because so far I like it and am glad I bought it, would buy it again. It seems sturdy and well made. I didnt give it 5 stars because I think all 12 screws that screw in yourself were not aligned so you had to drill your own holes for the screws, being careful not to drill into the dowels that are underneath. (there are a lot of dowels, and 12 screws). The instructions say you need a screwdriver, but I needed an electric drill, screwdriver, and mallet. All of the dowel holes were in the right place, which would have been harder to fix yourself if they werent. The other problem that would have been nice to have fixed, is the screws are not sunk in and sit on top of the wood, so im not sure if that will rip into my mattress or not. It seems so well made that im not sure why they were sort of careless on these 2 issues. Also, it folds up nicely and easily.
Very glad I bought it, but had a couple issues.
