I was so looking forward to this bed. But assembly is a bear: many pieces and the holes dont line up. The directions are not helpful Once cobbled together it stayed put though I am not convinced it is the most sturdy. It looks fine and I like the 12 inch clearance. The finish is smooth.It does squeak which could be a result of my less than impressive assembly. So while the assembly soured me, I do like the look and clearance. It would probably fine as a short term solution in a small living space. Keep in mind that the weight limit is 225 lbs.
