I would give this bed five stars except for the following: some of the wood dowel pins were missing, and I had to go to the hardware store to buy them, plus a saw to cut them to the correct length. I'm sure the company would have sent me replacement ones except I needed to assemble the bed the same day so I had a place to sleep. In addition, the brackets that held the center beam did not have any way to secure the beam to the frame, so I had to supply my own screws. If all the pieces would have actually come with the package, that would have been much more convenient. Now, for the good part: this bed is extremely sturdy, especially given the price. It doesn't wobble or squeak. It is a also a beautiful wood (I got the acorn color), and matches an antique birds-eye maple dresser I have perfectly. If you have any sort of environmental allergies, you'll want to air this out for a few days before sleeping on it; the lacquer smell is fairly strong the first few days.
