Wow, very sturdy bed! It didn’t take my husband long to build it, he really appreciated the simplicity of the build. I’d say the one discrepancy between the stock photos and real life is the headboard height, it’s definitely not as tall as the photos lead you to believe. I was prepared for that and okay with it, which is why I’m still rating it 5 stars. Definitely recommend, just don’t expect the height in the photos.
