While the assembly process was a bit confusing and was best with 2 people, the overall look of this bed is pretty good for the cost.  There are some blemishes where the wood was joined in the assembly process that I thought would annoy me but those are covered up by the blankets or are just not that noticeable now that the frame is in use.   Delivery was on time but one of the 3 boxes was open at both ends so my first thought was that we'd be missing pieces.  Did not prove to be a problem.  And kudos to the manufacturer, who had securely taped the supporting hardware boxes to the inside of the shipping boxes just in case the ends failed as they had in our case.   Overall this was a pretty good purchase.
