It's definitely pretty enough, however, many of the holes don't line up with the screws that go into them. We got them lined up by the hardest.  Also, several pieces were bent so that you couldn't put them together.  My husband and I were able to bend them back into shape so that we could assemble it.  Not sure I'd purchase it again, it's pretty tedious to get put together.  The rails and slats are not so bad, but the final assembly leaves must to be desired.  I can understand why the might pay someone $450 to put to together.  Getting it level was probably the hardest part.  Once you put the top of it on, getting it level was tricky along with figuring out which type footers to use. We opted for pouring concrete footers which worked well.  It's a lot of work, it looks pretty so we will see how it stands up to grandsons!
