Absolutely love this bed it so gorgeous in person. It looks even better in person than it did on this site, mine came in perfect condition. I ordered this on a Thurs night and received it Wed so it only took a few days which is way less than the 2-3 weeks it said. The head board is very big and awkward to carry especially if you have stairs and or low ceilings. Thankfully my headboard made it safely up the stairs. Definitely needs two people to put together has a lot of parts to it. Once put together the bed is very sturdy.
