Can't beat this for the cost.  I had looked around at several furniture stores and would have pain double to triple the cost. I plan to use this in a spare bedroom so it has not been actually slept on yet.  Although a bit darker chocolate than I expected, it really is a nice piece for the price. I did not personally assemble this but paid someone and it was still much cheaper than buying in a retail store.  The headboard was initially a little difficult to attach but does fit well.
