The bed looks great, but is poorly built.  The majority of the "wood" is  pressed wood decorated in paper veneer.  Upon arrival one of the pieces was broken an had to be replaced.  Getting the replacement part went pretty smoothly, but did take about 10 days.  After getting the bed together( about 3 hours) I was a little concerned about the integrity of the bed as it appeared to lack sufficient support. ( wobbled and creaked when I or my wife would roll over at night)  I went to the hardware store bought 50 dollars worth of lumbar and screws, and with another 3 hours of work, the bed is stable and we could place the pictures back on the headboard shelves.  Again, it looks great, but be prepared to additional support if you want to rest easy at night.  Just in case your wondering I weigh bout 230# and my weighs 125#.
