First off, this was the BEST PACKAGED BED EVER. Everything was thoroughly thought through ... the tools to assemble were included, the instructions were simple to follow (with diagrams), the protective styrofoam was cased in plastic - so no mess to vacuum afterward. As for the bed itself ... for the price you could not do better. Solid wood, joints and seams fit together well, and very sturdy. My only squabble is that the finish is not a deep espresso, more like a dark cherry. So, I may need to use some Murphys Oil to darken it a tad. That said, not enough of a disappointment to warrant a return.
