I was excited when the first of four packages for my Storage Platform Bed arrived (the other three came a day later). Assembly started that Saturday afternoon, and continued into Sunday. It took two people, reasonably skilled and with two cordless drivers, about 5 hours to assemble. Add at least 2 hours if you do all the screws by hand.
The wood is solid, and the boxes are well/planned for assembly, but this is a complex piece of furniture. I will say the directions were clear and fairly easy to follow (it did take a little puzzling for the drawer slides, but once we had one, all the rest were easy). There were extras of all of the primary screws and bolts, as well as the wooden stabilizing pegs used in places. The wood has a nice smell, and is true to color.
With two adults and a mattress on the bed, it is solid and does not shift in the slightest. The pull/out shelves will not support much more than your cellphone and a glass of water, but really arent made for more anyway. I will say I was disappointed that the drawers were not deeper / there was plenty of space remaining in the center of the frame / space thats unusable once the bed is complete.
This is a solid selection among the options available, and is very eye/catching. I recommend it, just know what you are getting into on the assembly.
