The frame itself is very pretty.  The headboard had an odd odor for about the first 2 days, but we put our air purifier next to it and by the time we went to sleep the first night, it was perfectly bearable.  It wasn't too hard to put together - although, it does seem like it could use a couple extra slats to support the bed.  Our king bed is quite heavy so we're worried about how long the frame will last.  All in all, it was good for the value we paid, and delivery was quick which was great!
