This is a beautiful, solid bed for the price point. It's very sturdy and stylish. The only reason it's not getting five stars is because it was a major pain to assemble (even with two people, it took several hours), and the board that makes up the base of the headboard came with the beginning of a crack. This board seems to be decorative and non-weight-bearing, and the crack sits below the mattress line, so we just rolled with it.
