I failed to read that this bed was metal but, I'm still pretty pleased with it. The bed comes together pretty easily, all the tools were present, and it looks good. Be mindful that even at a twin size, I feel like it dominates a room.

The bed is absolutely beautiful, and my granddaughter loves it!

My granddaughter loves her new bed!

My 5 year old twin boys love their new beds! It took me about 2 hours to put both beds together. It was not overly difficult or complicated. The beds seem sturdy. I went with 10 inch mattresses to give the bed some height since the beds are low to the ground. I can not say enough great things, I am very happy with this purchase and so are my boys!

My daughter loves her bed. It is sturdy. It was pretty hard to put together on my own, but I managed. Fair warning - you do need a drill - forget about using the allen wrench, you’d need physical therapy for your hand afterward. One of my pieces came with some oily crud on the ends (see pic). I was able to mostly wipe it off, but you can’t see it anyway. I was not missing any pieces and it would be fairly easy to put together with two adults and a drill. I will say, there is a space between the wall and the bed due to the design. The bottom of the legs come out father than the bed, so it’s inevitable, therefore I would not put a smaller child in this bed. Probably at least 5
