This bed take time to put it together, but with two of us it still took less than an hour. The finished look is great. The haeadboard is the perfect height for a platform style. If you used a box spring, you would hardly be able to see it. The fabric is in good shape and we did not notice much off-gassing. We have only had it a month so no feedback on durability at this point. But the pieces are solid wood, holes lined up perfectly, and pieces fit together snugly. We are please with the quality and look at this point.
