This bed is very attractive. It sets low and the headboard is low, making it perfect for placing in front of a window, which is what I did. It was easy to put together (but I am good at putting things together) and seems like good quality. One tip for those having issues with the instructions and assembly...when attaching the corner brackets make sure the horizontally slotted holes go to the sides and the vertically slotted holes go to the head and foot. Also, get the screws started on the bracket attached to the headboard and footboard first without running them all the way in and then you will have enough play to get the screws in on the sideboards.  FYI - the queen is nearly the footprint of a king because of the wide side rails, so look at the dimensions before order
