It's really pretty and was perfect for me because the box was a weight that allowed me to bring it inside by myself and assemble it myself. The metal under the mattress does squeak a bit when you move around in bed, so maybe I needed to tighten the assembly more, but it's too late now that the mattress is on, and it's not too bad. I have it in a guest room and I like being able to provide a head board for the guest bed. Will be annoying if ever needs to be broken down for a move as there are many parts, so keep that in mind!
