We've had this bed for a week now, and so far so good. It shipped about one week earlier than expected and arrived in a few boxes. My husband and brother-in-law spent a few hours assembling the bed. They did have some issues, as other reviewers have noted, that some of the pieces do not properly line up, but once the mattresses are placed, you don't really notice. The frame itself is solid and the slats are metal, while the fabric is a gorgeous textured linen. Overall, it's a quality piece that looks much more expensive than it is, and we are really pleased with the purchase!
