This bed is beautiful, once fully assembled. It doesn't come with the best instructions but it is also not too difficult to figure out. It is pretty sturdy, though it does wobble back and forth slightly if you manually try to wiggle it. It took both my husband and I to put together. We put white curtains up and it looks beautiful! I also added a bed skirt and I am glad I did as there are some funny looking "feet" on the bed frame itself. One thing to note is that this bed says that it does not come with a middle support, so I bought one on the side, however - the metal frame actually does have a middle bar, so now I have to return the one I bought on the side. Information could be updated and made more clear, but that's partially why I am reviewing it! All in all, a beautiful bed.
