I was initially worried since the reviews indicate that it can be tricky to assemble.  If you can do Ikea, you can do this!  I got 2 of them and did both the shelf options (one left and one right side), and they look great.  The metal bed frames that we already had didn't quite fit, so we had to drill additional holes in the base, but the wood was strong enough to take it.  I would recommend to the manufacturer that they make the 2 pieces where the headboard connects to the bed frame out of solid wood rather than pressboard, but again, it works fine.  Also, maybe they could include plastic caps to cover the holes for a queen bed frame since they are visible in the full bed frame option.  Nonetheless, these are just suggestions and wouldn't keep me from recommending this piece.  I have no regrets!
