Positive: I LOVE the looks of this bed! Very easy to assemble, but you will need a second person to help with a couple of things. (holding it up to start the screws)
Negative: The corners of the footboard can catch a knee. The two middle iron supports on the frame should be recessed in about 4 to 6 inches. I have stubbed my toe twice! If this were my main bed, I would get used to where they are and avoid them, but this is a bed in my spare room and I will need to tell guests to watch out for the foot board corners and the bedframe legs. I put some padding on the legs to help cushion.
Otherwise, I do love the looks of this bed!
