The look is great. The assembly was way more than I thought. The bolts didn't always screw in right (plastic wrapping on them made it turn into a WD-40 required project & a little over an hour turned into 3 hours!). Not to mention that I'm worried how I'll get the bolts back out whenever I move & keeping all the parts together to reassemble could be a nightmare. I've had it a week & it creeks already so I need to bust out the WD-40 again to try to resecure the screws maybe? I was not expecting the noise from this bed or the difficulty in assembly. But the style is on point and beautiful. However, if you have a pillow top mattress then it will look too short. My pillow top mattress covers up the beautiful headboard more than I would like. I give it a 3.5 stars but round to 4 for looks alone...the noise & assembly don't take away from the look.
