It is beautiful. It is very very nice for the price. My husband assembled it alone. The backboard was heavy to take up to a second floor in our home. But it was really easy to put together. The wooden slats work well for the bed. This system is really reliable. You can break the bed down in a matter of minutes, if you need to move the bed. It is beautiful and exactly what we wanted. It seems to be well made and the quality is there.
