I'm very happy with this bed! I was impressed by how well-made and sturdy it is. Like another reviewer said, no rickety-ness. The distressed white wood gives it a nice beachy look. It took us about 2 hours to put together and we found the instructions to be very clear. One thing I didn't like is that there is extra room between the mattress and bedframe on either side (we ordered this in a Full). Not thrilled with how that gap looks but luckily the bedcover hides it from view.
