Lots of space. This is a good storage bed. It took me approximately 3 hours to assemble it, and I used a power drill with adjustable torque to torque in all of the screws the same without overtightening them. If youre going to use a hand screwdriver, I would expect you will take at least another hour because there are a lot of screws involved in assembling the bed. I worked alone / there are a few tricky spots where having a second person help hold things would definitely make assembly easier, but most of the assembly work doesnt require two people. If you have two people, the second person can assemble drawers when not needed to help hold things.
I did notice that the plywood slats which create the platform for the mattress do slide around a little and didnt feel the most secure, so I followed the advice of other reviewers and added some finishing nails to attach the slats to the two supports which they rest on. With the additional nails, the platform feels much more secure.
During assembly, I broke 2 drawer cams and 2 of the large cams which hold the main frame together. s online form was easy to use, and they shipped out the new hardware to me the day after I submitted the request for replacement hardware online.
I didnt have any trouble with the drawer alignment. All of my drawers went in, slide smoothly, and close completely. Maybe I got lucky, since there have been a few complaints on previous reviews about this.
So far, no complaints about the bed. Its solid, assembly was straightforward, and s customer service to replace hardware was very good.
