The bed arrived quickly, in good condition, and all the parts were there. It seems very sturdy but we'll see over time.  The directions were pretty good, though we had to figure some things out and there were a few places where holes were not pre-drilled. Due to previous reviews I knew the headboard was not super high, but it is a few inches above a tall mattress with shams and pillows piled up. Just what I wanted.  The bed turned out a bit wider and longer than I expected for the queen size mattress but it's hidden by dust ruffle.  I'm happy with the purchase.
