This bed was very quick and easy to put together, with very clear and simple instructions. There is plenty of storage in the drawers. The only three downsides I found are1) The gray boards that go on the footboard and over top of the drawer system were a slightly different shade of gray then the rest of the bed (but this is not very noticeable).2) Once the drawers were built, when you try to slide them in, they get caught a few inches in so it seems like you can't push it in any farther, but you just have to force them in a bit and they go right in. This is because there are little indents in the metal tracks the drawer sits on and they get a bit caught when pushing the drawers in, but once you get the drawers in, the indents make sure you can't pull the drawers too far and make them fall out.3) Once the whole drawer system is built and has been slid under one side of the bed, the other side of the bed is just empty and you can see right under it. I have put a skirt on so you no longer can see underneath it, but without the skirt it just looks a bit junky.Overall, this bed is very functional and it has a great look :) If you're looking for a cute bed with plenty of storage space, I definitely recommend this one!! -N.
