First of all, this came in much earlier than expected, which was great considering that our last bed had broke and were anxiously awaiting for our replacement.  I'm almost 9 months pregnant, so needless to say I couldn't help with assembly.  However, it did not take long for my husband to haul this upstairs and assemble this bed on his own.  When I saw the finished product, I couldn't believe how stunning this is, especially alongside our dark cherry dresser and nightstands.  

Pros: Exactly as pictured, fast delivery, very sturdy and easy assembly
Cons: Did not come with appropriate sized nuts and bolts, but my husband had some on hand in his workshop
