This bed is beautiful and a great price for what you get. I did not give it 5 stars because the instructions to put it together were awful (and we are pretty handy) and we had to make slight modifications to some of the pre-holed spaces to be able to fit the pieces. It took a lot longer than it should have because of that. I'm very pleased with the look and how it turned out. I recommend purchasing this, but maybe have somebody else put it together for you.
