The bed itself is lovely, it’s sturdy and looks exactly like the picture.  Here’s the rub:  The instructions for putting it together were atrocious.  It was very difficult for two people, I cannot imagine a single person doing it on their own!  For that reason alone, I gave it  2 stars.  For the sturdiness, and beauty, I give it 5 stars.  Hope this helps make someone make the right decision.
