The bed is very modern looking and very easy to put together. At first I needed two twin beds and then even used the two together as a king, which was extremely comfortable. I love the height of the platform and I love the coloring of the gold. It is also extremely well made, the slats are very durable, wide, and close together. It is a very polished piece that can upgrade a kid's room and can handle modern decor in other rooms as well.
