This bed is so chic I've seen it priced over 600 it took less than a hour to put together one of the pole openings were a littlesmiished so it took a little extra elbow grease to put together the only down side is that a few of the gold pieces were a little duller than the others still shiny but you can tell if they are side by side. Also you will need a boxspring or bunkie board I thought I dudnt need one but wsd wrong because the mattress will slide through the rails. ..overall i lice the look of yhe bed its skimmer and taller than some of the other modern canopy beds and gold accents never hurt
