Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. The bed was shipped really fast and it took me about 1 hour to put together myself. You will need a power drill to secure the slats to the bed, which thankfully I had. I only gave the bed 4 stars because there was a nick on one of the headboard legs. Wayfair did refund a portion of my money for the nick. The bed seems to be really sturdy and no creaking and it looks really good in my room.
