The back section of the bed was misleading as it is not a full panel like the sides, but only the tufted section about a foot deep. The box came damaged and while nothing was damaged inside, we lost all of the pieces to build the bed. My handy husband thankfully went and purchased the pieces separately. You definitely need two people to put it together. It's a great bed for our daughters room, but definitely not a bed you should jump on! I suggest a 6 or 8 inch mattress for this bed, so that it does not hide all of the buttons in the back. Otherwise, it's a beautiful bed that we get many compliments on!
