Bought these beds for our grandsons, for their room at our house. Love the color, true Navy Blue. My husband and I were able to put them both together in about 2 and a half hours. The first one took much longer than the second one. The directions are all pictures. I have experienced worse directions, these were okay. It would have helped a lot if there had been stickers indicating front and back for the head board and foot boards, and if the stickers had been easier to remove. The stickers leave a residue and don't come off easily. The only other issue we had is the the wood is obviously spray painted and it is a very thin coat, more like a stain than a paint. You can see the wood color in some places and on the foot boards, if you are really up close. It is not that big of a deal to us though, we can always paint them again ourselves, if we need to later. The hardware and frames are great quality and craftsmanship. I really like that any exposed hardware is painted the same color, so you don't really notice it at all. The space height under the bed is11 3/4 tall and 75 long between the legs. We bought 10 size mattresses, when the mattress is on the frame there is about a total of 1 extra room on the side (1/2 on each side) and about 2 total of room on the ends (1 on each end). If the paint had been a better coating this would be a five star review. Very happy with our purchase.
Great purchase for the price
