There wasnt but 1 short review when I ordered but took a chance. This is a nice, twin size bed. It took my husband about 35 minutes to assemble. He said it was not hard and had no issues (he is not super handy either). Its matte black. The footboard is very short but I like that. It is very easy to move around with mattress on it. My husband and I moved it around to another spot in room with little effort and moved it right back. This is good and bad. Easy for me alone to move it around if my daughter wants to change up room but also makes it seem cheapy, as in too lightweight. But it doesnt look cheap and doesnt squeak at all. One annoying thing to point out is when we lifted up mattress to put on a full mattress cover (encasement), one of the rods going across fell off. While I held mattress, my husband had to pick it up and re-insert it. The slats just lay across and fit into grooves. Im hoping it fell out because he didnt originally install it good and we wont experience there again. Mattress does move around and the reason I had selected this platform bed was because it looked like the side bars are higher than the slats which would allow the mattress to not slide. Well it does, at the foot end, gets crooked. 11yo daughter has not complained but I just see it crooked each time I go in room, even though day before I pushed it back in place. But for the price of under $90 something when I purchased, its a great bed for the price. We have it about a month now. received with good condition... thanks seller... good job
